Program Overview

Many families in Thailand live under poor housing conditions, while local community areas and facilities, such as temples, hospitals, and schools, still need a lot of improvement. This program aims to help improve local homes and community buildings, which the locals are highly grateful for! You will help with much-needed construction and renovation by creating proper sanitation facilities, making houses safer, and ensuring communities have greater authority over their development initiatives. Volunteers assist with light work, such as cleaning the area, mixing cement, and painting, as well as more challenging tasks, such as building walls, plastering, and repairing roofing. A coordinator with ample experience in construction provides instruction and close supervision to ensure a safe process and that the houses are suitable for living. This is a rewarding project wherein you can see your hard work paying off. It suits anyone who doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty and working as a team.

Thailand, School Construction in Hua Hin

I really enjoyed the experience. The team was amazing, the people I met along the way really made a difference. The project was fun and seeing the kids like our work was heartfelt. I would definitely return to volunteering at some point. The support and involvement of everyone was very motivating as well. Local team and accommodation were amazing, the chefs were super good but I can say that I missed diversity a bit.

Response from provider

So glad you loved the project and the kids — their smiles say it all! 💛 Thanks for the kind words about our team and chefs (we’ll work on more variety too!)

I was in Thailand in Hua Hin. I did the renovation program and childcare.

It’s an incredible experience that you have to do at least once in your life. It is a great pleasure to help these clerks. They are welcoming and caring people. All our coordinators are there with us and take care of us so that everything goes as well as possible and that we enjoy our humanitarian mission. The local team is superb! The food is very good too. It allows you to taste local food and it’s incredible. As for the room, it is a dormitory for 6 people but it is possible to request a private room. What’s great is that it’s still time to volunteer we have free time to visit.

Response from provider

So glad you had such a great experience — thanks for being part of the team!
