The house-building program commenced in 1996, with students from the international schools in Singapore and Cambodia building two houses. The program has since expanded to include students, teachers, parents, individuals and corporate groups. Currently, there are, on average, six teams of volunteers per month coming from Cambodia, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Australia, United States of America, United Kingdom and Canada to house build.

Up to end-September 2004, 433 houses have been constructed by a total of 1,463 colunteers. Volunteers pay their own costs and raise USD800 for materials per house, with the families they build for contributing USD30.

In the year October 2004 through to end-September 2005, a further 200 houses are scheduled to be built by 48 different teams of volunteers.
