Program Overview

Global Impact Homes, a US-based nonprofit, is partnering with a local nonprofit in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, called Chantiik. We will spend 8 nights together exploring one of Mexico's "Magical Pueblos" located in the Mexican Central highlands, with 5 days volunteering to rehabilitate homes and families in need. Founded in 1528, San Cristobal is now an international historic site. This team is limited to 14 volunteers (currently at 9), so we hope you'll consider joining us for a fantastic week of fun and work.

Your donation includes:
- 8 nights lodging - double occupancy in a local hotel. Single rooms may be available for an additional fee.
- Three meals per day (alcohol not included)
- A donation towards construction materials and local labor
- All on-site tools, and plenty of water and snacks
- Travel medical insurance
- All in-country transportation (flights not included)
- Cultural and R&R activities.
