Build homes for underprivileged families in Costa Rica
Questions? Call us: 1-866-549-7614
Many Costa Rican families live in homes that don't have adequate sanitation or safe weather protection. Volunteer work in Costa Rica on this project runs alongside these families to build better homes with local, sustainable materials. You will be working with a rural housing association founded in 1989 who has become specialized in providing housing to rural populations. The foundation currently works with 62 rural organisations distributed in the 7 provinces of the country, such as cooperatives, local agricultural centres, labour and community development associations. Due to the nature of the work, you might not see the house completed while you're there, but the reward comes from working alongside the families whose lives you are helping to change.
