Construction
Collaborative Skill Development
Join a project and alongside our youth, sports and education aims, your team will have the opportunity to learn cross cultural collaboration, resilience, teamwork, communication and of course carpentry and construction skills, working alongside local youth members to achieve a requested building project.
All projects are highlighted and overseen by the Fijian Ministry of Health and the Ministry of iTaukei Affairs. We build health clinics, nursing stations, community halls and toilet blocks as a priority to increase the capacity of local health workers and to build climate resilience at a community level.
Working side-by-side talented Fijian building managers and local youths, your team will collaborate to achieve the entire building project, from foundations to completion.
-
All building Projects are led by the Fijian Ministry of Health and the Ministry of iTaukei Affairs, who assess and highlight locations and work in collaboration with rural communities and local health workers to plan the project. This ensures the project is genuinely needed and can be assessed and monitored at community and national level. Each build contributes to the Fiji National Development Plan and the Towards a Healthy Fiji Islands initiative. These Government policies work towards the outcome of creating ‘healthy communities living in healthy environments’.
-
Collaboration and sustainable outcomes is key. Our aim is not to build for a community but to work hand-in-hand with local youths and community members and enable everyone to achieve the construction together. An integral aspect of each build is community pride, skills acquisition and training for local people. We have trained over 500 youths in carpentry skills since 2009. Each project funded, enables more training and employment opportunities to be created for young Fijians.
Further, each build is built to cyclone resistant standards, ensuring they remain resilient for the future.
