CORAZÓN BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER ACROSS THE BORDER TO BUILD STRONGER FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES.
A nonprofit based in Santa Ana, California, working alongside families in Baja California for more than 48 years.
OUR MISSION
Exhibiting God's love by building community, strengthening families, enabling service, promoting self-sufficiency, and inspiring mutually beneficial relationships across borders.
WHO WE ARE
Corazón has been going for over 48 years. It runs on volunteers, donors and participants from all walks of life, held together by family faith, and friendship, and by relationships that have lasted decades on both sides of the border.
We don't hand things over and leave. Corazón champions self-sufficiency and gives families the tools to build their own path.
ONE DAY, ONE HOUSE
The most well-known part of our work is a Corazón build. A team of volunteers, led by experienced volunteer leaders, build a 16' x 20' home in a single day. You leave in the morning, you build a house, the family receives the keys to their new home during an unforgettable closing ceremony, and you sleep in your own bed that night.
No construction experience needed. Every build is made possible by a sponsor group.

BEYOND THE BUILD
Our work doesn't stop when the keys are handed over. Corazón supports families in our communities long after the build, through programs built around learning, opportunity and self-sufficiency.
