It all began in the winter 2005 when a Stuart & Carol Smith, A Utah Home builder, combined his talents with another charitable organization and built some houses in Aqua Prieta, Mexico. They had such a good experience that they decided to try it on their own. As a collaboration with Smiles Abroad Foundation, Stuart & Carol have continued to organize a group each year to travel to Mexico to build houses. In the last 10 years our organization has helped to house 40-45 families. In addition to houses we have made donations to the city government by providing an ambulance, hearse, station wagon and a school bus. Building Hope Abroad Foundation was formed in 2022 after Stuart & Carol made the decision to serve their church on a mission. We are now a 501(c) 3 with a board of directors made up of volunteers that have participated over the years.

Our Mission
Although the outcome of our efforts is a home for a family in need, we believe that our efforts are more about building character of those that participate and contribute to our expeditions. We subscribe to the philosophy that we rise by lifting others and our focus is to be and example of goodness, love and to make a positive impact.
