Travel to Ghana on a Global Builders Trip with The Fuller Center for Housing and help the organization build safe, decent, and affordable homes for members of a small community. Volunteers get the chance to work side by side with the homeowners and other locals in building these new homes. Apart from providing safe housing, the program also provides residents of Agomeda with job opportunities, boost the local economy, and create a life-changing experience for all people involved.
Ghana is known today for the friendliness of its people, the warm welcome given to visitors, and its cultural uniqueness and identity. Ghana stands as a stable, peace-loving nation that is the perfect introduction to a fascinating and beautiful continent. Even within Africa, Ghana is known as a desirable place to visit and vacation.
The Fuller Center is building a community that partners with low-income working families who offer their sweat equity in helping to build their homes and pay back the cost on terms they can afford with no profit or interest charged. The houses are comprised of a porch, living room, two bedrooms, kitchen, and toilet and bath.

Mission Statement
The Fuller Center for Housing, faith-driven and Christ-centered, promotes collaborative and innovative partnerships with individuals and organizations in an unrelenting quest to provide adequate shelter for all people in need worldwide.
Description
The Fuller Center creates partnerships within communities that bring together churches, schools, businesses and civic organizations to build decent, affordable homes in partnership with people who are unable to secure adequate housing by conventional means. The Fuller Center works in collaboration with our covenant partners, other service-oriented organizations and countless volunteers to build their own homes, which are then sold to them on terms they can afford, based on the Biblical idea of no-profit, no-interest loans.
Through our Global Builders program, we have many opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to get involved with our work. We currently send teams to 10 different countries to spend 1-2 weeks working on homes and getting to know the local culture. No construction skill are necessary. Visit our website to learn more about all our opportunities.
