💼 What the programme involves

By joining a building project, you will bring the (wo)manpower that is needed to fuel the construction. Projects are selected by community need. This therefore creates a variety of different projects. Education and sanitation are usually at the top of the list, but we are also very keen for participants to work on recreational projects, such as pitch flattening and community centres. These often provide a great focal point for the community You will join a team of other participants and locals, all of whom will work closely together for the common goal. The Ghanaian workers are skilled and know how to use the local materials, so they will act as your guide and no doubt, teach you many ”™tricks of the trade”™, ensuring the construction can be done quickly and efficiently. Since the projects vary, so do the tasks, but keep in mind this is physical work. There will be days that challenge you because they are strenuous, but don”™t be put off. All of the projects accommodate participants of reasonable physical fitness and you will never be asked to do anything that you do not want to do. Chances are, you will find that being outdoors and working as a team is a fun and truly rewarding experience! Aims & Objectives : Assist the locals with construction and renovation efforts on an organized team, Create cultural exchange opportunities through our efforts with the locals, Give you some practical experience in light renovation work, Develop your teamwork and skills through hands on activity.
