Phu Tho, Vietnam

Phu Tho Province has recently undergone a major expansion, with a population exceeding 4 million people following the merger of Phu Tho, Vinh Phuc, and Hoa Binh provinces. Despite this growth, many families still live in inadequate housing conditions.

In 2025 more than 12,000 households were approved for housing improvements. Of these, more than 8,100 households require new homes and nearly 3,900 need critical repairs.

Habitat for Humanity Vietnam partners with local communities to address these needs by mobilizing financial resources, building materials, and volunteer labor. Volunteers will work alongside skilled builders and local volunteers to construct safe, durable homes that improve living conditions and long-term stability.
Some of the construction tasks include:

• Mixing mortar and concrete.
• Sifting sand.
• Laying bricks.
• Tying rebar.
• Moving construction materials.

Volunteers will stay in double-occupancy rooms at a hotel. Single-occupancy rooms are available by request for an additional charge. Please contact your team leader to request a single-occupancy room. Meals will vary slightly from day to day. Breakfast will be provided at the hotel. Lunches will be served on the build site on workdays and dinner will be at the hotel, local restaurant or arranged by the country program.

In leading Global Village builds, Chuck Peterson has seen how helping a family obtain a decent home can have a generational impact — and how the experience can also be life‑changing for team members. He believes Global Village builds give volunteers the chance to show they care by stepping out of their comfort zones to work alongside families and help build homes in a different country and culture.
