Hirsche Homes – The Hirsche Homes Construction team, under the direction of Will Jones, remodels or builds new homes for families living in poverty in small shacks with dirt floors, leaking roofs, and no windows or doors. They help families that live in small villages in one room shacks with unclean and cramped living conditions and no indoor plumbing. They also build chicken coops and provide a few chickens, so that families have a way to earn a little money and have a better diet.
