Compagnons Bâtisseurs France

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Compagnons Bâtisseurs is a French NGO founded in 1957 in order to help people from the working class build their own homes. Since then, we have been working with people with low-income to help them improve their own living conditions through renovation work and workshops. Volunteers participate daily in the renovation work, under the supervision of a technical instructor. They also play an active role in organizing and implementing workshops related to housing for the community. Volunteers are also encouraged to take initiatives in local projects. !!
