Flagship Project · Hearts for Homes

A skill becomes a wall. A wall becomes a home.

Our students don't just learn. They build real homes for families who have never had one. Every panel is a lesson and a gift.

Meet the Family

A Home for Candida & Her Family

For 13 years, Candida has been the one her church calls first. Always there, never asking for anything back. She and her son Andy have given their community countless hours, all while living in a home of scrap wood and sheet metal beside a stream that floods.

This September, the skills our students learned go to work for her. A real home, safe, permanent, on solid ground, raised by the same community she has carried for years. You can help build it.

September 2026 Mission

Help Build Candida's Home, and One More

This September our team raises two homes on Roatán: Candida's, and one more for a family who owns land but has nowhere to live. The materials for both are already committed. Every gift now goes to travel, housing, and getting our volunteer team on the ground.

  • $28,000Build materials, committed
  • $12,000Travel & housing, raising now
  • $40,000Two homes, fully delivered

How It Works

Students Build. Families Move In.

  1. 1

    Students build 18 wall panels

    Each 4'×8' modular panel is framed, wired, and labeled at our Sandy Bay campus. Every one is a classroom lesson and a future home wall.

    About the construction course
  2. 2

    Panels are stacked and stored

    The finished home, pre-assembled, pre-wired, ready to raise, sits stacked under a blue tarp at our campus until a missions team is ready to roll.

  3. 3

    A missions team trucks it to the family

    Volunteers haul the panels to a prepared foundation on the family's own land and raise a complete home in days.
