Roofing – Fixing or renewing roofs of houses in the Makongeni village |
|
Project and its goalsHouses in the Makongeni village have poorly built roofs. Moreover the lack of financial resources forbids the population to main their roof tops. This exposes the house to the harsh climatic conditions including the sun and the rain. While the heat is still bearable, rain makes it worse. The lack of good roof-tops leaves the families under the threat of harmful reptiles (snakes, lizards etc.) and insects making their own homes an unhealthy place to live. The goal of this project is to take ensure that people can live in dry houses with good well-built roof-tops. The project provides financial assistance and resources such as ropes and roofing material to the villagers fix or renew their roof. We inspect the current condition of the roofs and financial capability before deciding upon the amount/resources that can be arranged by the foundation. Volunteers also take proactive steps to identify families who are in need. In the beginning of 2008, Ria and Jan Hulsbosch decided to share a portion of their profitable earnings from their Jasper stable in Holland. Their contribution triggered this project. They helped fix or renew roofs of 9 homes. We have seen a growing number of sponsors for this project (53 now). |
