Building Better Lives Together

Mexico

Mexico is located between the U.S. and Central America and has a diverse landscape of mountains, deserts and jungles. Our Volunteer Build teams build homes for the poor and homeless in the arid colonies of southern Tijuana, as well as feeding the homeless and visiting those forgotten in prison.
