"TO LIVE CHARITABLY MEANS NOT LOOKING OUT FOR OUR OWN INTERESTS, BUT CARRYING THE BURDENS OF THE WEAKEST AND THE POOREST AMONG US."

Transform human lives & communities provide basic needs to those afflicted by poverty

Construction: A Solid Foundation

Why build homes? We believe that if we build one home at a time, neighborhoods improve and completely transform. Through this transformation, families achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life.

Nourish a Child’s Heart and Mind

Why support children? Thousands of children in Central America live in extreme poverty. Some children have lost one or both parents to AIDS-related illnesses. Some children work to support their families. We believe children in these situations can reach their potential if they are given shelter, clothing, food, education, and medical support. Every child deserves a future.

Improve Health & Long Term Well-Being

Why provide medical outreach?  Low income communities have limited to no access to health services.  We believe children, families, and underserved communities should have access to dentists, nurses, and doctors.  We also believe that training professionals in the community to continue providing excellent health care and education is a must.

We welcome all to participate in Heart to Heart Experiences, Inc.
