The project was completed in December 2006.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://reliefweb.int/report/thailand/thailand-ricky-martin-foundation-and-habitat-humanity-announce-completion|title=Thailand: Ricky Martin Foundation and Habitat for Humanity announce completion of partnership to help tsunami-affected families|publisher=[[ReliefWeb]]|date=December 21, 2006|access-date=February 6, 2022|archive-date=February 6, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220206073054/https://reliefweb.int/report/thailand/thailand-ricky-martin-foundation-and-habitat-humanity-announce-completion|url-status=live}}</ref> In March 2006, the foundation collaborated with the [[International Organization for Migration]] in the Llama y Vive ({{Translation|Call and Live}}) campaign, which focuses on facilitating "the prevention of human trafficking and the protection of young people, victims of child trafficking and prosecution of traffickers".<ref name="RM Foundation"/><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theyucatantimes.com/2019/09/ricky-martin-received-the-peace-summit-award/|title=Ricky Martin received the Peace Summit Award|work=The Yucatan Times|date=September 23, 2019|access-date=February 6, 2022|archive-date=February 6, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220206073106/https://www.theyucatantimes.com/2019/09/ricky-martin-received-the-peace-summit-award/|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2012, the foundation participated in the making of the Child Protection Model Law on the [[International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children]].<ref name="RM Foundation" />
