These students would otherwise be unable to attend high school, due to lack of transportation. The Village is effectively an orphanage for a few, and is located in El Ideal, Quintana Roo, Mexico.Expenses $47,741
- Supported the operation of and improvements to the Merida Student Houses which house students who would otherwise be unable to attend higher education. The Men's House has been in continuous operation since 1995 and The Women's House since 2021. These facilities continue to provide a safe and nurturing environment for young people to further their university educations through professional licensure. In 2025, there were 14 men and 10 women in these programs, maximizing use of the facilities. In addition, in 2025, 5 scholarships (3 for men and 2 for women) were provided for school fees and expenses. Both houses are located in Merida, Mexico.Expenses $106,093
- Supported construction and improvements on churches, ministry facilities or housing, in cooperation with teams of volunteers from U.S. churches.
