Project Mercy Baja
Our Mission
The mission of Project Mercy is to construct solid and secure houses and improve the quality of life for impoverished families in Mexico.
What Can You Do?
Paula Claussen CNN Hero of the Year
Twenty-five years ago, Paula Claussen’s friend invited her to make the short trip from her home in San Diego, California, across the border to Tijuana, Mexico, to donate clothing to people in need. Claussen didn’t expect that day to change the course of her life.
“I was shocked by the conditions that I saw down there,” she said. “It was something that touched me very deeply,” Claussen said.
So in 1991, she started Project Mercy. The nonprofit has constructed more than 1,300 free homes for people living in Tijuana’s most desperate communities.
Adequate housing is a basic human need
Every house built not only provides a solid and secure home for a family in need, but also hope for a better future.
