Breath-taking beauty. Desperate poverty.
The fields around Ensenada draw waves of hard-working families from Southern Mexico — many forced to live in dwellings that are unhealthy and unsafe. Since 1993, Baja Bound has connected them with groups like yours, and provided every needed element to build a safe home.
