Volunteer Building Projects Overseas
If you are reasonably fit and would like to get really involved while you are traveling overseas, then you would be perfect for our volunteer building projects in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
We work with local community projects to help construct homes, schools and community centres that may have been lost to natural disasters, poverty or political displacement.
If you are looking to volunteer abroad but would like to see immediate impact of your efforts, then unlike other types of placements, building projects will give you the chance to see the fruits of your labour! You’ll be making mud bricks for a local family’s house, or painting the walls of a school to make it a colourful environment for learning!
No specialist experience of building or construction is required – although any prior experience is more than welcome! We’ll give you a complete orientation when you arrive at your project to fully prepare you for your time volunteering.
