Project
In February 2019 we helped our partner organisation to complete a primary school in Kkoba village, Uganda with capacity for over 1,000 children. Learn more...
Our job for the next two years is to help them to build high school at the same location.
- All of the contracting, materials, management and workers are organised by the local organisation - Hope Line.
- Our volunteers join the builders each day and learn everything they need to know on the job.
- No prior experience or skills are necessary, just a good attitude and willingness to learn from the wonderful locals.
We normally travel twice per year
Mid-Nov to Mid-Dec (2020)
Mid-Jan to Mid-Feb (2021)
It’s not all building though, the volunteers also assist with three other projects that Hope Line facilitates.
Empowering Women
We assist Hope Line with their women's groups, joining their meetings and helping to develop their craft business to be profitable.
Holiday Programme
Volunteers run lessons and games for children in the four different communities that Hope Line supports.
Medical Outreach
We also send volunteers who have the relevant experience into the villages to assist with a wide range of ailments for locals who cannot afford to go to the clinic.

Support Locally
If you aren’t interested in travelling, you are more than welcome to join our team and fundraise for the project alongside the students going on the trip.
You’ll still be a part of the Purpose Projects team and all of the money raised will go directly towards the project!
Plan a Fundraiser
We're always on the look out for more opportunities to raise support. Fundraisers are the perfect way to incorporate current or new events with a greater purpose.
If you've got some good ideas for how we can raise money or increase awareness of our Purpose Projects then we’d love to hear from you!
Volunteer at our Office
We're also happy for people to come and help us do some of the work behind the scenes at our office in Christchurch.
If you're located elsewhere but you've got some skills that you would like to offer then get in touch with us anyway and we'll get back to you!
