Mission Description

Sponsored by Yayasan Hartalega (PRIVATE BUILD)

This is a private Build. Only invited volunteers are allowed to join this build.



EPIC Homes is EPIC's flagship initiative that aims to build trust and relationships with marginalized communities in order to create cooperative, resilient and sustainable communities through the simple act of building home - addressing the issue of access to safe housing among marginalized communities.

EPIC strives to equip individuals to be able to engage with communities, build trust and relationships via participatory processes in research, planning & implementation with the facilitation of socio-technical & domain experts. Through this, shared experiences are cultivated, which heightens the community, external supporters & overall awareness of our inter-relationships and interactions within the space we occupy.


  We have Built 150+ Homes.

 We have a builder community of over 5,000 volunteers.

  We have worked with over 10 villages across Peninsular Malaysia.

  An EPIC Home only takes 3 - 5 days to build!

THE VOLUNTEERS

This is a privately organized build made possible by Yayasan Hartalega. This event is exclusively open to selected volunteers where an exciting weekend awaits them! 

BASIC BUILDER WORKSHOP:
First Timer must go through Basic Builder Workshop before joining above build.

When: Saturday, 25th November 2023 10am to 5pm
Where: Parc Hub
Taman Subang Ria, Lot 17394 Jalan SS12/1, Subang, 47500, Selangor
GPS Coordinates: 3.0822830, 101.6000555

What is the Basic Builder Workshop about?
The Basic Builder workshop is all about having fun with fellow learners, learning how to use basic hand and power tools, making some new friends and challenging yourself. We think that everyone can benefit from learning basic DIY skills like how to identify a nail from a screw or correctly building that new IKEA furniture for yourself.

Plus, by completing this workshop, as an impact outlet you qualify to serve with Epic Homes in their mission to provide safe homes for marginalized communities.

THE EPIC HOMES BUILD LOGISTICS

Date: 1st to 3rd December, 2023 
Location: Kampung Orang Asli Songkok, Batang Kali, Selangor 
Transportation: VAN
Accommodation: The Leverage Business Hotel Rawang


THE OUTCOME

We hope that throughout the build, volunteers will develop a deeper understanding of how the Orang Asli live, and that volunteers put themselves in the shoes of the community. We're essentially building a closer relationship with the Orang Asli community whilst also strengthening the relationships and dynamics of your team!

THE ATTITUDE

Approach and talk to the family! Strike up a conversation and leave a positive and lasting impression. They are usually shy, especially the women, and they may be a little hesitant to approach you in such a big group.
Be open to new things as different communities tend to work differently. Who knows? You could even learn a thing or two!
