Program Overview

Join and help our local project manager on this school building and gardening volunteering project in Swaziland. You will assist with the development of 7 pre-schools for vulnerable kids in semi-rural communities. This project provides each school with a stand for giant water barrels, creates sheltered play areas, builds latrines, and constructs storerooms for kitchen supplies. Planting trees for the children’s long-term nutritional needs is also part of the project scope as well as the maintenance of the school grounds and play areas.

Volunteers are required to be reasonably fit as this is a physical placement. Those with building, plumbing, electrical, and carpentry skills will be a great asset to the project. Participants must be culturally sensitive, enjoy working with others, and possess a positive attitude.
