New Building Project
Over the years Ciudad Refugio’s programs have outgrown their physical capacity. We see this as the fulfillment of God´s promise that if we build in His name our house would be full. Out of the demand for additional space in existing programs as well as a renewed sense of calling to continue responding to the need we see around us, we have stepped out in faith to construct a second ministry facility adjacent to our current building.
100% debt free
Ciudad Refugio remains committed to operating its programs without incurring debt. We build as we are able to secure funds designated towards this effort as well as through existing income generating projects.
Environmental friendly
Solar panel, water recycling and urban agriculture initiatives have been implemented in our existing facility and will be expanded in the new building. Our goal is to make productive use of each square meter and to do so in a way that helps preserve the environment.
5-level design
Plans for each floor have been carefully designed by local architects and engineers to maximize the utilization of space.

Soil sampling
Utilization
The new building plans have been designed with innovation and sustainability in mind. Our goal is to make productive use of every square meter and to do so in a way that conserves natural resources through solar, water recycling and urban agriculture projects.
