A Global Builders trip to El Salvador gives the opportunity to help build homes with local families, learn about El Salvador, and make cross-cultural friendships. The trip will also support the local economy, provide jobs to locals, and offer life-changing experiences to everyone involved. The Fuller Center has been building in El Salvador since 2008, completing hundreds of homes in many communities around the country. We are currently working on a community of 100 homes in the city of Apaneca. Most importantly, Fuller Center homes are made of permanent materials that keep out the elements like concrete blocks and dry roofs instead of the rusted tin, plastic and mud that far too many familiies have lived in their whole lives. While simple by First World standards, they mark a life-changing improvement that has been shown to improve long-term family outcomes in areas like health and education, improving a family’s overall well-being. Join us in changing the life a family forever by partnering alongside them and providing a decent, honorable home! Visit our website for more information: https://fullercenter.org/elsalvador/

Mission Statement
The Fuller Center for Housing, faith-driven and Christ-centered, promotes collaborative and innovative partnerships with individuals and organizations in an unrelenting quest to provide adequate shelter for all people in need worldwide.
Description
The Fuller Center creates partnerships within communities that bring together churches, schools, businesses and civic organizations to build decent, affordable homes in partnership with people who are unable to secure adequate housing by conventional means. The Fuller Center works in collaboration with our covenant partners, other service-oriented organizations and countless volunteers to build their own homes, which are then sold to them on terms they can afford, based on the Biblical idea of no-profit, no-interest loans.
Through our Global Builders program, we have many opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to get involved with our work. We currently send teams to 10 different countries to spend 1-2 weeks working on homes and getting to know the local culture. No construction skill are necessary. Visit our website to learn more about all our opportunities.
