Homes of Hope is a gateway to spiritual transformation in communities. Since 1990, more than 100,000 volunteers have participated in building Homes of Hope for the poor in 21 nations.
We offer you two options for a life-changing mission trip. An amazing experience to bring your family, congregation, or co-workers closer by sharing a weekend together making a difference in the lives of a family. Bring a group of employees from your company, your small group, or bring a group of families from your church.
You bring the labor, we’ll bring everything else.
- Fantastic team-building event
- “Hands-on” participation – more than just writing a check, you actually build the home!
- Live out your values
- Create a sense of teamwork and unity
- Become more aware and informed of the conditions/needs outside your ‘world’
- We provide translators to make it easy
A Homes of Hope house is typically built over 2-3 full days of work with a team of 8-40 people. While these houses are not fancy, they provide a great change to the way the families have been living.
Measuring 16 ft x 20 ft or 20 ft x 20 ft, the houses have 2 bedrooms and a living/dining/kitchen area. Basic electrical installation is also provided, as well as glass windows with screens. Two hardwood doors to provide security. There is an option to roof with metal or shingles. Metal is the most commonly used because of extreme rainy seasons. The concrete foundation is included in the cost and Homes of Hope staff pours the foundation with the family’s help. The family is required to provide the land and demonstrate ownership.
At the end of the build, we have a “Key Ceremony”, which gives every member of the team a chance to hold the keys and share with the family. The family then gets to share their hearts. We pray over them and the team presents them with a Bible and framed photo of everyone together.
