Global Village
A Global Village trip can be a life-changing experience. Teams of volunteers visit countries in need and help build houses in the local communities.
You will be more than a tourist: you will be welcomed into the community by your hosts and introduced to the local culture as a guest. You will develop an understanding of issues facing the community, learn more about another culture and learn more about yourself.
Global Village teams bring invaluable support to the communities they visit. More homes are built each year because of the donation Global Village teams make to the host community. You do not need prior building experience. If you have a sense of adventure, are in good health and willing to work hard, you can be part of a Global Village team! Participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian or be part of an organised school, faith or service group.
If you would like to join an existing team as an individual, please see the Global Village Trip Schedule and contact the team leader.
If you are keen to lead a team and need some inspiration, we have slots open throughout Asia Pacific. Click here to see what slots are available and then email preferences and ideas for us to follow up on your behalf.
