Your generosity transforms them into confident and

That’s where we come in. We find people to donate the money
necessary to build a safe, solid, and dignified home, and
gather together volunteers to go to Mexico and help build
alongside the family who will live there. This is a great
opportunity for you and even your kids to get involved in a life-
changing experience. We have plenty of work to do for
everyone - from skilled carpenters to 5-year-old children.

Education is also an important part of the Build A Miracle program. We believe that
education is the way out of poverty. Through our ongoing involvement with the
families who receive homes, we install a belief in the importance of school. This is
an incredible opportunity to make a difference for generations to come.

The change in the families, as they help build their homes, and as they feel the love
and support of the other Build A Miracle families and U. S. volunteers who help
them build, is tremendous. They come to life. They become enthusiastic, happy,
and proud. Every Build a Miracle volunteer and contributor is responsible for
transforming lives with the gift of hope for the future.

shacks with dirt floors, no running water, and a hole in the ground for a toilet. When we first meet with them, they are
shy and embarrassed.
