Project Summary

What is the Construction in rural Cambodia all about?

The project supports a local rural Cambodian school attended by over 300 students. Our local partner has built a school with the help of volunteers and local tradesmen in order to provide an education centre for the kids from the surrounding poor villages. As the school grows, it is in continuous need of new buildings, pathways, toilets, etc.

This is a great project to work with the local community providing a pleasant environment for the villagers’ children and even working at local people’s houses if a renovation job arises.


Why choose this Construction project in rural Cambodia?

  • Improve the quality of life for underprivileged citizens in and around Samraong
  • Assist the locals with construction and renovation efforts in an organized team
  • Create cultural exchange opportunities through our efforts with the locals
  • Gain practical experience in light renovation work

Role of the Community volunteer

During your placement, you will learn about light construction work such as painting, cleaning or renovating playgrounds, building houses and sanitation facilities amongst others. You can expect to engage in construction work 4-5 hours a day.


What skills do I need to be a construction volunteer in Cambodia?

This project does not need any specific construction skills, as you will learn on-the-go.
For those of you with artistic talent, you will have the opportunity to help decorate walls with murals.
