Raffle of houses in Diriamba

The first 24 houses in the Practical Apprenticeship project in Diriamba were raffled in order to match the house with the new owner. In full view of all a number for each house was placed in a closed envelope and deposited into a box. Between smiles and tears after choosing its envelope each family ran to see their house and who would be their neighbors. Afterwards they received a signed document indicating the house and, together with the designated plot in the owner´s name, they will receive the title of property when the houses are formally handed over.

In 2005, SofoNic has started a dual education program for masons in Nicaragua, using its house-building programs as a base. Teaming up with the local technical school in Jinotepe they are graduating about ten masons every year since. Most f them have found jobs in construction or have started a business on their own. SofoNic has contracted several of them as master masons in the reconstruction programs in Haiti.
