See All 2 ProgramsAll over the world there are buildings going up and coming down for all sorts of reasons. If you know your way around a construction site, your opportunities for construction volunteering will be limitless.
Guatemala is one of the best countries in the world for construction volunteering, with a variety of projects for housing and schools, in addition to sanitation projects. Plus, there are frequent and relatively cheap flights between Central America and the U.S. and Canada, making it a more affordable, convenient option.
Africa should be kept in mind for volunteering with construction, as it’s home to some of world’s least developed countries. Construction volunteer projects in Kenya provide volunteers with the opportunity to build and repair schools. After working hard at your project site, you can take some time to explore one of Kenya’s more than 40 national parks and game reserves.
Nepal experienced a devastating earthquake in mid-2015 and is still recovering. There are many construction volunteering opportunities to help rebuild the affected communities. When you’re not busy rebuilding, you can go trekking among the monstrous peaks of the Himalayas that are spread throughout the country, including the mountain the Nepalese call Sagarmatha—aka Mt. Everest!
