Hands on options at other projects
Malawi is a great destination for volunteers wanting to help local families to improve their modest homes, many families live in very simple shelters which provide little protection from the wind and sun. Local village schools also welcome volunteers to improve floors, walls and outside areas for the children from play equipment to shaded spaces to play under. Bring £20 - £50 a week for hands on work in Malawi as there is very little if any funding to cover bigger jobs. Local staff will assist you to buy materials you need.
In Cameroon a school is currently being built so if you are travelling within the next 6 months, hands on help will be really appreciated. Volunteers have already helped to finish the first classroom and bought some simple desks and benches. It is likely that the school building project will be ongoing for the next year or so before it is completely finished. Bring £20 - £50 a week for help towards materials.
