Amor Ministries is a non-profit organization working in Mexico. Amor constructs clinics, schools, churches and homes for the Mexican communities of: Tijuana, Cuidad Juarez, and Puerto Peñasco. The majority of the families receiving assistance from Amor Ministries have a weekly income of $60 US. They are living in shacks with dirt floors and walls made from scrap wood.
The projects being built have a cement foundation, walls framed from 2”x 4”s, a strong weather resistant roof and a stucco finish. The average home built by Amor is 11’ x 22’ with two rooms. Clinic, schools and churches are larger structures. The structures are a free service provided to the families and communities of Mexico. This construction is done by volunteers from the United States, Canada, and Australia.
