Our Global Village Program
As suggested by the name, Habitat for Humanity places a strong emphasis on building homes around the world. Volunteers today can build with Habitat affiliates in many locations on a Global Village Trip. Participants are able to register for trips to their destination of choice. Teams generally number between eight and fifteen, with trips usually lasting between nine to fourteen days.
Our Global Village Program enables willing volunteers to spend two weeks building a home for a deserving family. You can make a positive, lasting contribution to Zambian family with a durable home using your time and resources. The experience is life-changing and offers the chance to learn Zambian culture and customs like no other. While you are in the country, stick around to visit our world-famous game reserves and national parks.
A global village trip can be a life-changing experience. Teams of volunteers visit countries in need and help build houses in the local communities. You will be more than a tourist; you will be welcomed into the community by your hosts and introduced to the local culture as a guest. You will develop an understanding of issues facing the community, learn more about another culture and learn more about yourself.
Global village teams bring invaluable support to the communities they visit. More homes are built each year because of the donation global village teams make to the host community.
Contact your local Habitat for Humanity Office and find out how you can participate in the Habitat for Humanity Global Village Program in Zambia. It is truly a once in a lifetime experience to partner with a family to build their own house and see how decent shelter empowers them to start to break out of the cycle of poverty.
If you are a Zambian resident and want to participate in a global village program, contact a GV coordinator at the HFH Zambia office in Lusaka and see how you can become part of this great experience.
If you are not a Zambian resident, experience warm Zambian hospitality while building houses and hope. Participate in a Global Village work trip. Contact your local Habitat for Humanity office and schedule to see the GV Coordinator.
