In addition, Build A Miracle provides numerous educational opportunities including tutoring, vocational training, scholarships, computer labs and an adult education program. false false 914452 In 2023 Build A Miracle completed 32 new homes for impoverished families, who also participate in education programs. Full BAM homes are 540 sq ft with 3 bedrooms, indoor plumbing, kitchen, bathroom and living/dining room. They earn their homes with a minimum of 500 hours of community service but most remain involved in our programs indefinitely both improving their own lives and helping others. The homes are built during build days when U.S. and local volunteers mix concrete, hammer nails and paint, and during the work week by experienced, paid builders. The Dads Program, made up of men on the wait list for homes and many who already live in BAM homes, helps extremely impoverished families who live in shacks and do not have land rights so do not qualify for a full home. They make their dwellings safe, pour concrete floors, reinforce walls, replace tarps with real roofing, and build septic tanks. This program has an enormous impact on the lives of the people served and the men themselves. 289 Dads participated in 2023. 886045 Our goal is to provide every family that needs it, a path out of the vulnerable class helping the next generation to be able to afford their own home and our academic, scholarship, trade and adult education programs are geared to make that possible, free of charge, to vulnerable Tijuana residents whether they are living in a BAM home or not.
