Our Projects

Family Unity Organization is committed to building lasting solutions that strengthen communities. Each project is carefully planned and constructed in stages as funding becomes available. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, several initiatives are already completed, while others are actively underway.

Completed Projects

• Community Greenhouses – Fully funded and completed, these greenhouses provide self-sustaining food production to nourish families and support long-term food security.
  
  

• Church of the Sanctuary of Betania – Fully funded and completed, this project expanded and restored the original church structure. Additions included new foundations, roofing, a chapel, clergy house, convent, Betania Choir chancel, and a confessionary—ensuring the community has a place of worship that inspires faith and unity.
  
  

Current Projects

• Sacred Heart of Jesus Health Center – A major hospital designed to serve more than 400,000 residents in the surrounding region. This project has been fully designed and planned by architects and has entered Phase One of construction with the first building, budgeted at $2.5 million.
  
  

• Farming Initiatives – Developing sustainable livestock programs to provide nutritious food and vital co-products for the community.

Looking Ahead

We invite you to check back often for updates as we continue to complete new stages of these projects throughout the year. Every step forward is made possible by the faithful support of our donors.

Support Our Mission

In addition to funding specific projects, donors can also support Family Unity Organization’s growth, operating expenses, and long-term mission sustainability. Contributions directed toward general support allow us to cover essential nonprofit costs, maintain existing projects, and ensure that every stage of development is completed with care and accountability.

We invite you to check back regularly for updates as these projects move forward. With your continued support, we are able to complete each stage and bring lasting impact to the communities we serve.

Lagoon Project

The Lagoon Project was made possible through the generous support of donors Terry and Anna Darby. After two years of dedicated work, the project was completed, and the result is nothing short of breathtaking.

The lagoon, reaching a depth of 15 meters, now serves as a vital resource for the community. It provides irrigation water for all fruit trees and crops on the community farm and sustains 1,500 tilapia currently being raised within it. Looking ahead, the lagoon will also ensure a reliable water supply during the dry season for future homes to be developed on the land.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Terry and Anna Darby for their generosity and vision. Your gift has created a lasting impact, and we pray that God abundantly blesses you for the hope and life this project brings to so many.

Betania Hospital February 2025

We have completed architectural designs and have received required permits to construct the future Betania Hospital in front of the beautiful Shrine of the Virgin of Betania. This hospital will serve the severe medical needs of over 400,000 residents of the local community and surrounding 50 mile radius. We are currently raising donations to construct Phase One, the first building for this much needed hospital. The hospital will employ over 400 local resident families with jobs allowing them to provide for their families and keep them in their native areas without the need of relocating to the overpopulated cities. The hospital will be the first medical center in Venezuela constructed implementing green building practices to obtain the internationally LEED-certification. Some of the key enviormental benefits to building a green hosptial are;

Sustainability:

Green hospitals prioritize environmental responsibility throughout their lifecycle, from design and construction to operation and maintenance. 

Energy Efficiency:

They incorporate energy-efficient technologies and renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind turbines to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. 

Water Conservation:

Green hospitals implement water-saving measures, such as efficient fixtures and rainwater harvesting systems, to minimize water usage. 

Waste Management:

They focus on reducing, reusing, and recycling waste, including medical waste, to minimize environmental impact. 

Indoor Environment Quality:

Green hospitals prioritize creating healthy indoor environments for patients and staff through natural ventilation, daylighting, and low-emitting materials. 

Sustainable Materials:

They use sustainable and locally sourced materials in construction to reduce transportation emissions and promote regional economies. 

Green Spaces:

They incorporate green spaces, such as gardens and green roofs, to improve patient well-being and reduce the urban heat island effect.
