We are a small, friendly and well established registered UK charity. We take volunteers from the UK and elsewhere to participate in short-term voluntary projects in developing countries, where our primary purpose is to provide grassroots development aid. Most of our projects focus around the construction of schools, medical centres and other practical buildings to benefit developing communities. No practical experience is needed – just a willingness to help and a desire to make a difference.
How do our volunteer placements help communities across Africa and Asia?
Our mission is to help alleviate poverty in the developing world by the construction of buildings that local communities themselves say will make a difference. We do this by offering interested people like you the chance to take part in a volunteer placement in Africa or Asia and make a significant contribution towards it, both personal and financial. Our volunteers raise funds directly for the project they are working on and then get to travel to the country in which their project is located to help build it and be there to experience the handover to the local community.
How we work
We always work in conjunction with a local partner organisation in each of our project countries. Typically these are registered local non-governmental development aid organisations or (NGOs) founded and/or run by citizens of the country. Occasionally they will be UK-based NGOs or charities with a strong and independent structure in the project country.
