Building homes & Lives
CPC works side-by-side with Mexican families to help provide a better way of life..

Constructores Para Cristo’s construction program helps provide basic housing for poor, working-class Mexican families who often live in desperate conditions. 

Recipients of these simple, but adequate three room houses develop a greater pride of ownership as they work side-by-side with teams from the United States to help build their new home.

Years of experience has resulted in a home design and construction methods that gets the building job done quickly and efficiently. 

While it only takes a team of volunteers four and a half days to build a house, planning and preparation for building over 20 of these homes each summer requires months of advance planning by American and Mexican staff members, including site selection and preparation, material ordering, and the recruiting of volunteers. 

CPC hosts as many as four teams at a time, and by the end of the building season over 800 volunteers will have committed a week of their lives to make a profound difference in the lives of these Mexican families.
