The Construction and Renovation project focuses on improving key community spaces such as village schools, playgrounds, public libraries, and more. By working together, we can help create better living and learning environments for local families and children.
This project supports small communities across Lombok, with the goal of building and restoring facilities that play a vital role in the area’s development. By improving infrastructure, we help ease some of the challenges local residents face in their daily lives.
Participants will work under the guidance of a local foreman (project coordinator), who will provide training and supervision. You’ll also work alongside local families, making it a truly collaborative effort. Be prepared for hands-on physical work—tasks may include bricklaying, carpentry, painting, tiling, and landscaping or gardening.
Location
Lombok is a beautiful island in Indonesia, located just east of Bali, known for its stunning beaches, clear blue waters, and laid-back vibe. Less crowded than its famous neighbor, Lombok offers a more relaxed atmosphere, perfect for those looking to escape the tourist buzz. The island is home to the majestic Mount Rinjani, Indonesia’s second-highest volcano, which attracts hikers from around the world. With vibrant local culture, charming villages, and excellent surfing and diving spots, Lombok is an ideal destination for adventure and tranquility alike.
Project Tasks
- To build and renovate essential community structures that support the growth, development, and well-being of local villages in Lombok.
*PLEASE NOTE: All participants for the Education, Teaching, Construction, and Turtle Conservation projects, are required to apply for a C6 Social Cultural visa prior to arrival. Participants who have a Visa On Arrival or an E-Visa on Arrival will not be able to participate in these projects. Participants who only attend the culture, adventure, and yoga weeks will be accepted to join the programs with a Visa on Arrival. Going through an online agency or via our local team is the easiest way to obtain the visa.
**Exceptions to the C6 visa
Participants can join any program with a Visa on Arrival (VOA) for the following program types:
- 1-week culture week, plus 1 to 3 week volunteer program
- 1-week volunteer program
However, it is important to highlight that participants using a VOA must put 'tourism' for reason of visit.
We still encourage volunteers to arrive with a C6 visa for all programs. Please note that obtaining and using a VOA is entirely the participant's responsibility. We cannot be held accountable for any issues or concerns arising from this, as we are obligated to recommend the appropriate visa type for participants joining volunteering projects.
