No Prior Building Experience Required

Volunteer Build provides safe, quality and affordable volunteering. Volunteer teams build homes & school classrooms for the poor and abandoned, as well as undertaking cyclone & natural disaster relief in Mexico, Peru, Cambodia, Vietnam, Fiji, Tonga, Vanuatu, and Nepal. Working with our partners in each country, our experienced trip guides create space for you to not only build, but to participate in other volunteering opportunities such as feeding the homeless, delivering much-needed aid to orphanages and women’s refuges, and visiting the forgotten in prison. Join one of our Volunteer Build Teams today and do something incredible!

"That's The Volunteer Build Experience"
As someone who has taken teams overseas several times, this trip was fantastically organised. An experience not to be missed, and as a group we can’t recommend it highly enough.

Lorna Grey

It was a trip which will not only live long in our memories but will have changed the girls’ outlooks on life in a very positive way.

Stu Piddington

It really put things into perspective for me and really made me appreciate how good we have it in New Zealand. It also reminded me that happiness is not found in money and things, but in health and family.
