Construction and renovation project in Palawan

“Family” projects are suitable for children aged 4 and up. Our advisors will provide personalized recommendations based on your children’s age, the destination, and the type of mission.

This humanitarian project in Asia takes place in the province of Palawan, located in the MIMAROPA region, the country’s largest province. Palawan is renowned as one of the country’s top tourist destinations, often ranked as one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Its white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, spectacular marine life, historic sites and rich cultural diversity offer unforgettable landscapes and experiences.

However, despite its beauty, there are areas of Palawan that require particular attention, particularly in terms of communal infrastructure such as schools, health centres and housing. Construction plays a crucial role in creating safe spaces that connect communities, create jobs and improve living standards.

In this project, you will have the opportunity to work closely with the local people of Palawan, offering an authentic insight into their way of life and culture. You will work alongside participants from all over the world to help build in the village of Tigman, in Aborlan, in the heart of Palawan province.
