This year, the Singapore Institute of Landscape Architects (SILA) is thrilled to relaunch and continue the Build-with-Heart 2.0 initiative! 🎉 Sixty building professionals from Singapore are coming together to build a home in Malaysia for low-income indigenous families.

WhyBUILD?

🏠 Contribute & Improve: Enhance the quality of life for the needy community of Orang Asli families by providing safe and secure housing.

🚧 Remove Unsafe Conditions: Replace inadequate housing with new, safe structures that meet basic living needs.

💧 Address Poor Housing: Eliminate issues like leaking roofs and unsafe living conditions.

🤝 Skills Transfer & Partnerships: Foster cross-disciplinary collaboration between volunteer architects, landscape architects, engineers, and builders, strengthening partnerships and sharing knowledge.

What's in it for Us?

🔧 Hands-On Experience: Gain invaluable practical experience that will enrich the professional and personal development of our built environment professionals.

Join Us in 2024!

The 2024 Build-with-Heart team will consist of dedicated volunteers from various fields (landscape architects, architects, engineers, and builders) who will contribute their skills and time. In return, we'll gain invaluable insights into local building techniques and the satisfaction of supporting a meaningful cause. Building homes and improving daily life for these needy families is a cause we are proud to champion. 💪❤️
