What do we do?

We are working to make a difference in the lives of those living in substandard housing conditions in Mesilla Valley. Helping families get into good housing conditions is just a fraction of what we accomplish. We are also changing the outlook members of these families have on life. Read what Care-a-vanner volunteer Connie Fudge has to say about the impact on the children.

Thousands of volunteer hours go into the building of a home. And before the walls even start to go up there are many tasks that must be completed to make the build successful.

• Procuring the land on which to build
• Drawing the plans for the homes to be built
• Obtaining construction money to underwrite the build
• Recruiting the volunteers to do the actual construction
• Selecting the partner families
• Soliciting sustaining funds, materials and supplies from the community
• Coordinating the on site build
• Managing the paper work and support functions
• Keeping the community informed of our efforts
• Maintaining the community's goodwill

These are just some of the ways, in addition to the actual construction, that our volunteers help.
