Benefits for companies
The home building creates outstanding opportunities to combine Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Corporate Volunteering, Staff Development & Employer Branding in an authentic way.
Have you ever wondered how to make a real impact as a team?
Within an impactful team building event of ~3 days, your staff team builds a home for a family-in-need in Moldova or Romania.
