Project Mexico of the Orthodox Church

About Project Mexico of the Orthodox Church

Since 1988, Project Mexico has welcomed people of all ages into Mexico to alleviate the suffering of others by building safe, secure and weather-tight homes in Tijuana. Since its inception, over 11,000 volunteers from across the United States, Canada, and 10 foreign countries, have helped to build more than 290 homes for families in need. In 1996, Project Mexico established St. Innocent Orphanage as an extension of its ministry, with the goal of providing a loving home to abandoned adolescent boys. St. Innocent Orphanage has raised over 50 boys since opening its doors and it is regularly recognized by the Mexican Government for its success and its unique model based on family, education, and healing. Project Mexico & St. Innocent Orphanage is officially recognized by the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States as an endorsed organization and it is primarily supported by donations from Orthodox Christian individuals, churches and church organizations in both the United States and Canada from all jurisdictions.
