Casita Linda (which means "pretty little house") is a Mexican non-profit organization founded in 2001. We build adobe brick homes for families who are among the poorest of the poor in San Miguel de Allende and the surrounding areas in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico.

To say we build houses, however, only describes our strategy. Casita Linda's volunteers, contributors and families share a broader purpose: to alter the destiny of poverty.

Our mission is to create a dignified, safe and empowering environment that will provide a foundation of hope for families living in extreme poverty.

Many of our families formerly lived in structures rigged from rocks, wood, sticks and tarps. Their Casita Linda (which means "pretty little house") gives them protection from the rain and cold, and the ability to face the future with dignity.
