Volunteer in Ecuador: Building and Construction
Program Overview
Lend a helping hand on a building and construction volunteer project and help families living in need or underprivileged communities across Ecuador and South America. The purpose of our construction programs is to help build homes and lives.
Volunteers from around the globe are welcome to build or renovate houses, schools, community centers, and water supply projects. They are needed for manual labor jobs, working alongside skilled and unskilled local workers. Tasks may include building, renovating, restoring, carpentry, painting, plumbing, etc. The activities involved in each program vary depending on the location, community needs, and phase of construction work.
No specific qualifications or previous experience are required to join the Construction & Renovation Project. However, volunteers should be physically fit and willing to work hard.
Our meaningful building and renovation volunteer project is available year-round, and our fees are as low as $130 per week. Apply today and start tomorrow.
