Group Mission Trips
Amor aims to provide each missions team with the tools and resources that are necessary to build a home for a needy family. Amor carefully selects the home site, provides standard building plans, and equips each group to complete a home within a few days. While on your Amor Mission Trip, missions teams will stay in conditions similar to those of the families they are serving. They have no electricity and no running water, sleep outside in tents, and each person receives 2 gallons of water for bucket showers each day.

Amor House Projects
Since 1980, Amor has been perfecting the house building process, making this the safest, most efficient, affordable trip possible. Amor builds homes for the poor in Mexico, South Africa and the San Carlos Apache Reservation in Arizona. We've worked with over 311,000 volunteers to build over 16,000 homes!
Amor doesn't allow the use of power tools or generators on the worksite. We want everyone to be involved in the house building process and power tools do not foster that environment. We realize there are other methods of completing the building project more quickly, but we want everyone to experience the culture, get to know the family you are building for, and allow for a positive cultural experience. Our building projects may also include a double house (for larger families), schools, churches, and medical clinics, but these are dependent upon the needs of the community and the total number of mission trip participants in a group.
Mexico House Project
Amor typically builds an 11’x22’, two-room home with a concrete floor, stucco-finished exterior, weather sealed roof, two windows, and a door. An Amor house in Mexico is a simple design, built according to the standards of the community so that a group without skilled labor or power tools can still complete the project.
San Carlos House Project
The process to build a home in San Carlos cannot be completed in a week-long trip. Each group will work on a portion of the house and move it gradually closer to completion. The home will be 28' x 24' and include 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.
The San Carlos Amor Mission Trip is a pilot program we are still experimenting with different types of building materials to use. Potential work includes:
- Putting up the walls, cutting out the windows and doors
- Adding rough plumbing and electrical tubes
- Placing stucco on the roof and exterior and interior wall
- Touching up stucco
- Installing non-live electrical wires
- Painting the exterior and interior walls
- Installing doors
- Installing cupboards in the kitchen and bathroom
- Installing appliances
