Get to Know Our Mission
Beginnings
Since its founding in 2014, Hope Beyond Borders has grown to partner with dozens of organizations and has given an estimated total of $5.4 million in relief efforts to marginalized communities. What started as a grassroots effort in a little known place on the border has become an international movement to not only meet the needs of marginalized communities but also to promote integrity and respect from within those communities.
Hope Beyond Borders started as Sasabe Avanzado, a quiet humanitarian effort on the border between Sasabe and Nogales. Since then it has expanded into a multi-national and broad faceted effort to provide relief to struggling medical clinics and hospitals.
HBB coordinates with over a dozen dedicated non-profits operating locally and across international borders to ensure that the medical needs of our neighbors are met
This is why helping from within a community is so important to us. We are not here to rescue people. We are here to recognize where inequality is pervasive and offer a hand in overcoming that inequality. Through this, we promote the voices within the communities we have partnered with and create an equitable health system where no body’s needs go unheard.

To Now
We are currently partnered with local non-profit, Circle of Concern, and operate under their umbrella.
This partnership has proved to be invaluable in supporting our mission across borders. We have the discretion to help individuals: a hungry child, a frightened and homeless pregnant girl, someone who needs a jacket to stay warm at night. The kind of people whose problems are “too small” for most groups.
We also provide opportunities for individuals who want to experience “hands-on” ministry through local outreach opportunities and mission trips. Circle of Concern aims to bring together teams who can give practical help, both skilled and unskilled. We have brought physicians, optometrists, dentists, construction teams and children’s activities into destitute communities in order to bring hope and spread the love of Christ. We typically offer severaloutreach opportunities per year in Southern California and Mexico.
Circle of Concern
The goal of Circle of Concern is to partner with like-minded charities and help them grow and flourish by providing administrative support and advice, networking contacts, and giving financial support. We endeavor to help those who are in the business of helping others.
