"A week long experience which will last a lifetime" Ann Kennedy, ActionAid builder 2007

Ngqushwa is in the stunning Eastern Cape region, home to diverse landscapes and untouched coastline. However its rural location means that accessing vital services is difficult as people have to travel long distances, taking time and cost money.

You will be helping to build a much needed community centre, which will be used by three villages and over 3,500 people.

The centre will provide:

• A place for children and community members can go to learn new skills
• A library and information centre
• A meeting place where women, community members and young people get together

The community will be contributing their labour and local materials but they need your help – so request your information pack today!
