Program Details

Our construction volunteer project aims to create a sustainable impact that benefits both the children and the community at large. Volunteers engage in a variety of tasks, such as digging foundations, mixing cement, building walls, constructing roofs, plastering, and painting. The construction work occurs in the early morning and late afternoon, allowing volunteers ample time to participate in community activities. Some volunteers choose to combine the building project with a teaching placement. Qualified builders from the community oversee the project and assist volunteers throughout the construction process.

Activities & Shift

While prior building experience is not required to participate in this project, individuals with relevant skills are encouraged to join and may take on specialized roles. All volunteers should be reasonably fit, physically active, and willing to work outdoors in diverse weather conditions.
