More information

 

Since 2002, The Niall Mellon Township Trust has housed over 80,000 South Africans, replacing squalor and abject poverty with a new-found sense of hope and dignity. For those who volunteer to participate on a Building Blitz, the week-long stay is filled not just with lifting and carrying, but meeting the local communities whose lives you will change forever. And it’s not just the lives of South Africans that it’s changed. The thousands of Irish Volunteers who take a week out each November are also changed permanently. They form friendships that will last a lifetime, and find a new sense of purpose and of self-worth that comes with giving such an amazing gift to the poorest of the poor.
