Volunteer Abroad
Charity work abroad - in Asia, Africa, Latin America, & Europe
International volunteering opportunities
Due to Coronavirus, our overseas volunteering programme is on hold for the safety of both our volunteers and the communities in which we build. When the time is right, and with you beside us, we stand ready to once again accelerate our efforts with renewed energy and commitment to fulfil our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. In the meantime you can keep up-to-date with our news and follow us on social media and share our stories.
Latest stories from our blog
Your impact worldwide
Every year, our volunteers participating in charity work abroad help build dozens of new homes and send well over £200,000 in raised donations as part of their volunteer trip costs (fundraised or not).
For the families we work with, you are valuable reminder that compassionate people regularly go out of their way to help them break the cycle of poverty. Join our mission to build resilient communities that can weather any storm (from cyclones to joblessness). Our work carries on well beyond home construction, as we provide skills and financial training to empower local communities.
Cold feet vs itchy feet?
From “I’m not a manual person” to “I can’t possibly build a house”, the most beautiful thing for us is seeing volunteers suddenly realise that they are capable of so much more than what they think.
Believe us, you can do anything you set your mind to. Jimmy Carter, the 93 year old former US president, has been building with us nearly every year for the past 40 years.

How it works
1
Contact a team leader - ask any questions you may have and he/she will get back to you shortly
2
Register for a build - you'll have to pay the registration fee after which you'll receive information to help you prepare for the build
3
Start fundraising - we'll provide you with support and tips to successfully reach your target
Why build with us?
Today, 1.6 billion people live in slums and informal settlements where the walls aren’t sturdy enough, doors are missing and roofs are leaking. Whether you're headed to Africa, Latin America or anywhere else, every short-term volunteer trip includes a donation which helps us pay for local workers to build homes all year round. As well as helping to create local jobs, you provide a crucial boost to our productivity - allowing us to build more homes at a faster pace than ever.
Do you have a question?
- Wondering how to get started or how volunteering abroad works?
- Thinking about joining a short-term volunteer trip?
Get in touch with us and we will be there to support you along the way — introducing you to the Team Leader, setting up your fundraising page and helping with you reach your target.
Your Team Leader will be able to help you as you start to prepare. We have also online resources that will be useful as you embark on your journey.

“𝔸 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕝𝕕 𝕨𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕪𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕙𝕒𝕤 𝕒 𝕕𝕖𝕔𝕖𝕟𝕥 𝕡𝕝𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕝𝕚𝕧𝕖.” - Habitat for Humanity’s vision
habitatforhumanity empowers people to become homeowners 🏠 and as Realtors, we understand the importance of this because it’s also a part of our daily purpose.
But selling homes is one thing and building homes is another, so I love taking off the heels and putting on the hard hat to help give back to our community.💚
We are aware of all that has been given to us, in this lifetime, in the past few years, months, days and so it’s hard not to be humbled, and pleased to give back. It’s said that generosity begins in your heart and then spills out in your behavior. That what you pour out is poured right back into you... we couldn’t agree more. #habitatbuild #nixtann #lovewhereyoulive #womenbuild 6019827918
This is the dramatic entrance to Raven Hall, home of the Corvidae. A site currently in creation, this hall is the centre point for the whole development.
It will be a home for many limestone plants and the wildlife associated with them.

You can survive on your own; you can grow strong on your own; you can prevail on your own; but you cannot become human on your own.
