Project Mercy Baja Response to COVID-19

Updated January 20, 2022

We are happy to be able to bring back more US groups in 2022 and have some exciting new events planned for the rest of the year. We encourage all pertinent protocols such as mask wearing, hand sanitization and social distancing where possible and will advise recipient families in Mexico to also wear masks and socially distance from construction crews.

We are continuing our work within Mexico with our Mexican crew who have all been vaccinated.

Details on future builds are updated on our “Calendar” page and you may also contact Executive Director Paula Claussen at (858) 513-1847 for enquiries and more details.

It is incumbent upon each volunteer and group leader to take personal responsibility and not come to the event if they feel sick or have been in contact with someone who is sick or has tested positive for COVID-19.
