Frequently Asked Questions: 

Can children come? 

Yes. The cost to participate is less for children 12 years and under. However, it is up to the parents to decide if they are comfortable bringing their child onto the build site. All parents are responsible for their children's safety. With that said, we love seeing families come and do Homes of Hope together. It is a life changing experience for families!

is the food and water safe in Mexico? 

The tap water is not safe to drink. However, bottled water is provided on the build site and at our campus. The food, prepared by our staff, follows standard health regulations. 

should we have sanitary concerns?

Whether you stay at our base or at a local hotel, you will have access to sanitary facilities. At the build-site, there will be clean porta-potties and hand sanitizer for your team to use.

What should I bring? 

Please see our "Preparing to Come" page for a suggested list of what to bring. 

Do we have to bring our own tools? 

No. We provide all the materials needed for the build!

What kinds of documents are needed to enter Mexico?

Participants should have a valid passport with them when they enter Mexico. Please visit our "Travel Documents" page for more information on what is needed to enter the country.

What is the weather like? 

We recommend looking online for the forecast of the days you will be here. On average it is warm during the day and chilly at night as both of our campuses are located near the ocean. It rarely rains here, but rain can occur during the winter months of December-February.
