Program Details

Our construction volunteer project is designed to create a lasting impact that benefits both children and the wider community. Volunteers take part in a variety of hands-on tasks, including digging foundations, mixing cement, building walls, constructing roofs, plastering, and painting.
Construction work is scheduled in the early mornings and late afternoons, giving volunteers time to engage in other community activities. Some volunteers choose to combine the building project with a teaching placement for a more diverse experience. Experienced local builders oversee the project and guide volunteers throughout the construction process, ensuring safety and effective learning.
