Volunteers and a Tecate family gathered in front of a newly finished home
Since 1981 · Tecate, México

Love crosses borders, and so do we.

Club Dust brings volunteers together to build homes and hope for families living in extreme poverty in Tecate, Mexico. No matter your age, faith background, or construction experience, there is a place for you on a build.

2,000+
Homes built since 1981

What began as a small group of volunteers has grown into a community of thousands who believe love is best demonstrated through action. Forty-five years later, Club Dust is still a small, volunteer-driven charity: our office is a kitchen table, and each trip brings up to 150 volunteers across the border to build.
