PHILIPPINES / Kaya Responsible Travel
By volunteering in the Philippines, you can help build a house for the poorer communities. Housing in the poorer communities of Tacloban City often constitute little more than single-room makeshift shacks. Work alongside skilled carpenters on numerous community building projects around the city making renovations, repairs and even new builds to the houses of a collection of underprivileged families in our local community, as well as schools and community centres throughout the island of Leyte and Samar. This is a rewarding project with immediate visible results, volunteer satisfaction guaranteed. What better way to help a developing country than by providing the basic comfortable living requirements which every community member deserves. Whether its building from scratch, or fixing roofs, building walls or constructing toilet facilities for a more hygienic lifestyle; the result will be the same: the communities here in the Philippines will be grateful recipients.
As volunteer on this project you will be working each day with our local staff to either build a new home or carry out major renovations to the homes of our local community families who are in most need of help. You will help purchase materials, carry out labouring tasks like mixing cement, laying bricks, digging, plumbing, electrics, painting and designing. This is a very hands on project where you will be making a lasting difference to a family and to the community.
The main skill required is having the motivation to get stuck in and work REALLY hard to improve the living conditions of families in the Philippines. Those with particular building, plumbing, electrical and carpentry skills will be a great asset to the project and you will be able to use your particular skills.
