Why the Dominican Republic?

In the rural communities we work with, many families live in unsafe, overcrowded shelters—homes made of scrap wood, tarps, or old metal. With no stable roof, dirt floors, and no running water, life is a daily struggle.

When you help build a home, you're creating safety. Dignity. A place where kids can sleep at night without fear.

"I am so grateful to have participated in this build. It not only changed my perspective but it also changed a family's life forever. Through our fundraising, travel, willingness, and physical labour, we have made a huge impact and gained an incredible experience."
