Home improvement charity, Habitat for Humanity, will train and assist 20 carpentry students to build new homes for families in Tonga left homeless by tsunami waves generated by January's volcanic eruption.
The students from the Tonga Institute of Science and Technology will receive hands-on training on building resilient homes.
Habitat for Humanity Chief Executive Officer Alan Thorp said 12 new homes will be rebuilt across Tongatapu, 'Eua and Ha'apai.
The charity has assisted in repairing and building over 800 homes in Tonga since 2016.
