Construction
Volunteering.

However, because of lengthy political instability, harsh geographical topography, and scarcity of human resources, communities do not have enough environment friendly homes. Volunteering in construction projects across Nepal using locally available natural materials such as stone, bamboo, mud, and timber is deeply impactful.
