200 million people still live in poverty in South America… TECHO is an NGO that makes a tangible difference. In the last 25 years, they have built homes for 131,000 families in 18 countries and counting. At Unsaid Studio, we were inspired to give something back and use our medium to engage and drive change.
A short film now in production, Panchita! is inspired by the true story of a girl looking to find her own stable
foundations and follow her dreams.
“Mama we have a floor! We have a floor!” From the moment a volunteer described the joy of seeing a 6-year-old girl dance in her new TECHO house for the first time, our short story began to fall into place - Upon unearthing a magical old VCR, Panchita discovers her calling - to tap dance. Guided by an unexpected, supernatural friend and mentor, a new passion transforms her surroundings.
When you donate, TECHO enables you to reach into a favela and affect someone's life in a physical way. Our toy-like set makes it easy to imagine placing a new model home into the scene with your own hands.
''Remember animators! When you are six years old, your feet don't respect your wishes.''
