Tangible Activities

Our tangible activities are particularly popular with groups and consist mainly of a variety of different building projects that normally do not take place until all the funding and people-power has been acquired. SAIDIA and its partners go to great lengths to ensure that the fine balance between successful volunteering and usurping of temporary employment is maintained. We do so by insisting that a number of local workmen be included in each build.

 

All tangible activities are funded by volunteers, and require funds to purchase materials and provide salaries for hired workmen. For this reason, groups willing to fundraise for projects are ideal, as the cost of the build can be spread out among the participants. However, it is not unheard of that a single individual will successfully fundraise and participate in a building project.
