Resources
Why build in Mulanje
Despite being famous for Mulanje Mountain, famous traditional dances, and rich cultural heritage, Mulanje has an extremely high housing need.
Many children living in Mulanje have been orphaned as a result of HIV and AIDS which has led to a large number of households being led by children who cannot afford to look after the home.
Housing poverty in Mulanje means that many of the people in the community live on less than $1 a day.
What will you do?
Whilst you are in Malawi, you can expect early starts so that work can begin before the sun is at it’s highest point.
You will build alongside the local community, local volunteers, and the homeowners themselves.
On site you can expect to be mixing and passing mortar, digging and laying foundations, laying bricks, plastering new walls, and more.
Don’t worry if you don’t have any building experience. Full guidance will be provided during orientation, and you will be assisted by experienced masons and a Team Leader throughout the build.
