With 1 out of 4 people living below the poverty line, many families in Nepal manage with only the basic necessities. These families are compelled to build homes using natural resources such as unfired mud bricks, stones, wood, and even hay. During cold winters, rainy days, and hot summers, these families have very little protection against the elements. The Fuller Center for Housing in Nepal is actively working in the village of Trishuli, which sits in the foothills of the Himalayas, to build safe, decent, and affordable homes for these families in need. Participants will have a unique opportunity to work alongside homeowners and other locals in one of the most picturesque locations on Earth. In addition to providing safe housing, these trips create jobs for locals, support the local economy, and offer a life-changing experience for all involved. If you have a heart for combining service, traveling and experiencing new cultures then this trip is for you!

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.
