The Casita Project

In July 2007, with the support of the Week of Compassion, SWGSM launched a new program “The Casita Project." Our goal is to provide housing to persons who either have none or who live in truly horrible conditions in the colonias of Matamoros, Mexico.

Thanks to volunteer groups from across the country and their generous donations, we truly are “Constructing Houses, Creating Homes, and Changing Lives”

Through Southwest Good Samaritan Ministries and the Week of Compassion, the Casita Project is seeking to raise additional funds for the construction of the next 30 ‘small houses’ to be built in the colonias.

It is our hope that through individual gifts, support of local churches and faith-based organizations, we can underwrite this important ministry.

These funds would then be used to partner with volunteer groups from other churches, campus ministry organizations, and faith-based groups who have the time and talent but may lack funds to be involved in this mission work.
