Resources
Why we work in Salima
Despite being famous for its Gule wa Mkulu dances, and rich cultural heritage, Salima has an extremely high housing need.
Many children living in Salima 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 Salima means that many of the people in the community live on less than $1 a day.
What will you do?
Expect early starts so that you can begin work before the sun is at it’s highest point. This means you will finish working a few hours before you have dinner. Typical Volunteer Activities include:
- Mixing and passing mortar
- Diggings and laying foundations
- Laying bricks
- Plastering new walls

For me, it is so important to have a house that I can be proud to hand over to my children in the future.Fernando - Homeowner in Recife, Brazil
My life has fundamentally changed for the better because of HFH, as have the lives of people we have helped.Livi Warnes, Volunteer Team Leader
Meeting the family and working so closely with the community is nothing short of incredible. I could have spent another year or more with the community, they were all so welcoming. Jemma, volunteer in Kenya 2019
