Fund a home for a family in the slums of Mexico, then go build it with local volunteers and meet the family whose life you have changed forever. If you successfully fund a home you’ll also be entered for a chance for you and a friend to go to Mexico for free!
Expect to be inspired, challenged and reconnected.
You gather 10 friends to give the $3.33 a day (the cost of a coffee) for three months. This adds up to $3,300 USD, enough to fund a new home for a family living in the slums.
You fly down to help build the home you funded, alongside local volunteers and the family that will live in it. At the end of a hard and rewarding two-day build, you hand the keys to the family and watch as they open their front door for the first time.
We head to the beach to enjoy two days of food, music, surf, yoga, and sharing the experience we just had together.
Immerse yourself in a profound 5-day experience of tangible impact, celebration and connection, and a new community of friends. Begin your Journey to Mexico City by building a home for a family living in slum conditions. Then we’ll head to Lake Mexico to recharge, reflect, and celebrate: with DJ dance parties, daily yoga and meditation, guest speakers, and a chance to learn about the region and its ancient history

We believe trips are fundamental to creating a ripple effect of change. By experiencing impact firsthand, individuals can connect to the communities whose lives are changed by the generosity of giving, which shapes their sense of the world and how they want to show up in it.
