PRoTechos is a 501(c)(3), Puerto Rico 1101.01 and CECFL-approved non-profit founded with the dual mission of rebuilding damaged roofs in under-served communities throughout the island while providing residents with basic carpentry training, addressing both housing needs and the shortage of skilled construction workers in Puerto Rico. Starting with the most urgent cases in disadvantaged communities (elderly and/or disabled persons and families with young children), PRoTechos rebuilds roofs with the help of volunteers, skilled carpenters and trainees, drawn from community residents who are willing and able to work in residential construction. We provide hands-on carpentry training at no charge to trainees who, following their graduation from the program, are expected to teach others and continue building in their community.
