Volunteer Building Abroad
If the idea of getting your hands dirty and offering your manual labor appeals, then i-to-i’s volunteer building projects could be the most rewarding volunteer travel option for you. Whether it's building homes for underprivileged families in Costa Rica, Kenya or Honduras, international volunteers roll their sleeves up and get directly involved with building programmes in some of the most beautiful destinations across the globe.



When you volunteer for building projects with i-to-i, you’ll find yourself contributing to vital community development projects, which help underprivileged families, orphans and disadvantaged children. Arts enthusiasts will jump at the chance to build dance and art centres on Brazil’s coast. Volunteers who embark on our overseas building projects don’t need to be specialist builders either; they just need to bring along their enthusiasm, reliability and an appetite for hard work!
Whichever volunteer building project you volunteer for, whether it’s in South America, Africa or Asia, you’ll be making a direct impact on a country’s present environment and future development, while experiencing the local culture from an intimate perspective. You may even find you’ll make great friends with local residents along the way as you will be working alongside local residents and experts, enabling you to absorb the climate in a unique way no tourist or backpacker can during an average travel adventure abroad.
