Create Lasting Impact

Generations Village

An Intergenerational Approach to Senior Living and Community Building

Designed to bring seniors, students, and families together, this scattered-site model

Generations Village fosters intergenerational connection, where the wisdom of age meets the energy of youth, and shared purpose replaces social isolation. Residents live, learn, and grow side by side, cultivating a culture of care, respect, and mutual support that strengthens both individuals and the wider community. Programs may include aging in place, dementia-friendly design, and cultural community engagement. This innovative approach directly addresses two pressing social challenges: the shortage of affordable housing for seniors and students, and the growing need for inclusion and connection across generations.

Creating affordable, sustainable, & community-driven solutions

Completed Projects

Bulante Elementary

During Typhoon Yolanda, many buildings in Tacloban City, Leyte, Philippines, were destroyed. This project included the re-construction of the Bulante Elementary School Stage and Relocation Centre located on a hectare of land donated by the father of Builders Without Borders Foundation president, Mercedes Wong. Funds and equipment were also donated.

Aboriginal Mother Centre

The centre provides transitional housing, daycare, and community programming for urban Indigenous women and children, and seniors. Funders included the Government of Canada, the Province of British Columbia, the City of Vancouver, and several non-profit foundations.

Bella Bella Tiny Homes

In partnership with the University of British Columbia, the Indigenous Research Support Initiative, and FP Innovations, the Builders Without Borders Foundation participated in a housing project for the Heiltsuk First Nation in Bella Bella, BC, this project built four tiny homes of 384 sq ft each.

Builders Without Borders Foundation supports projects that create lasting social impact both in Canada and internationally. Through partnerships, community development initiatives, housing projects, education, and poverty-relief programs, we work to help build sustainable futures.
