Volunteer Building Work Abroad
Volunteer on a Building Project with Projects Abroad to add important resources to communities that need them most.
Our Building Projects take place in less developed communities in Ghana. Some are in rural areas, others in cities. You can build homes, schools, daycare centers, sanitation facilities, or community buildings. Some of our projects are based in places affected by natural disasters where communities are still recovering. As part of your project work, you could:
- Make bricks
- Lay foundations
- Plaster
- Paint
- Install windows and doors
Our projects are sustainable and allow the local community to continue the work after you’ve left. By taking part, you’ll get to immerse in the local community and get to know the people you’re helping.
This experience is a safe and sociable way to give back where it’s needed, while building your own confidence and understanding of global issues.
