At Unidos en Red, we are thrilled that TECHO has been named .ORG Organization of the Year 2026, the most prestigious honor at the .ORG Impact Awards. The award was presented by Public Interest Registry and makes TECHO the first Latin America-based organization to receive this global honor.
The organization was selected from among more than 4,200 nominations from 145 countries. In addition to this top honor, TECHO won the award in the Community Building category, which recognizes organizations capable of strengthening the social fabric, fostering connections, and driving meaningful change.
The jury highlighted TECHO’s ability to mobilize communities and volunteers to address poverty and the housing crisis in Latin America and the Caribbean. As the .ORG Organization of the Year, it will receive a $50,000 donation from Public Interest Registry to continue strengthening its social mission.
We are proud to share this achievement, which also belongs to the families, communities, and thousands of volunteers who have built this movement over nearly three decades. We celebrate this recognition as an incentive to continue promoting civic engagement, dignity, and every family’s right to a safe home.
