Trip Dates:  October 3rd – 16th, 2009

Organization:  Habitat for Humanity Global Village Program

Trip Cost:  $2,350 (approximately) + Air Fare

Trip Destination:  Kateke, Zambia

Trip Purpose:   To become active partners with people of another culture, helping to build a true “global village” of love, homes, communities and hope.

We build sustainable homess in both rural and semi-urban areas. The average house size in Zambia is 35 square meters (approximately 300 square feet). In keeping with the ethos of using regionally appropriate technology, most of the program’s rural houses are built using burnt bricks and corrugated iron roofing sheets. The houses are simple but high quality, with separate sleeping, cooking and living areas. The design is such that homeowners have the option of extending the house in the future.

Accommodations:   Teams stay in a guest house or backpacker hostel or school, which are dormitory style and separated by gender; typically 2-4 per room with shared bathrooms and toilet.

Lodging in rural areas is primarily a local school, church building or Habitat home. In rural locations teams should expect to be sleeping on the floor, using a pit latrine (typically a hole in the ground). There is typically no electricity and kerosene lamps are used for light in the evenings.
