The Global Village experience Teamwork: Global Village groups usually consist of up to 16 individuals led by a team leader and work alongside local communities. Program donation: Global Village volunteers contribute a donation ranging from US$1625-$2500 that supports Habitat’s housing programs as well as their own on-site accommodations, meals and ground transportation. Locally driven: Local communities and Habitat collaboratively decide on project goals and solutions that address a specific local housing need. Lasting change: Projects are designed around larger Habitat initiatives, so the work does not stop when volunteers leave. Volunteers will also learn to advocate for housing policy on the macro scale where work is much needed. Examples of Global Village volunteer projects around the world In Cambodia, volunteers helped build seven water towers as part of a sanitation and hygiene project to bolster communities against the risk of natural disasters and infectious diseases. In the Dominican Republic, volunteers helped build basic homes for individuals living in densely populated informal settlements. In Romania, volunteers helped renovate apartment blocks for special needs families. In Kenya, volunteers helped rehabilitate existing homes for vulnerable communities impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic and rising poverty.
