Carpentry students are learning their trade while helping out the community, building houses and cabins for Habitat for Humanity.
Three new houses built by carpentry students in Nelson will be relocated to become first homes for families struggling to enter the market. As part of a partnership between Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology and Habitat for Humanity, three new houses and six cabins will be built at the Richmond Campus on Lower Queen St this year. Habitat for Humanity general manager Nick Clarke said not only were the students upskilling, but they were giving back to the community.
