Global Builders - Nepal: Build Alongside Locals
With 1 out of 4 people living below the poverty line, many families in Nepal manage with only the basic necessities.

With 1 out of 4 people living below the poverty line, many families in Nepal manage with only the basic necessities.

Fuller Center Nepal Build 2015
by: jgp1216 - SAN FRANCISCOProgram: Global Builders - Nepal: Build Alongside LocalsWe were the first group to return to Nepal after the earthquake. We worked on two homes in the Trishuli district (50 miles from the epicenter). The work was physical and rewarding. We worked alongside Nepali masons to construct concrete houses (none of the Fuller homes were damaged in the earthquake). This was my 2nd opportunity to lead a group to Nepal. Both trips were great!
