Housing

Shelter is a basic need for all families which must be met before other improvements can be made: having somewhere safe and secure to sleep is key to a successful livelihood, education and empowerment. Housing is a vital element in building a community.

Working in collaboration with the Government, NGOs and our donors, we have been supporting our villages to construct, maintain and repair more than 500 homes.

Under our current programme, with a contribution from Government or donor support to construct the foundations of a weather-proof, brick-built house, villagers are forming co-operatives and working together to complete the homes.

Our team also supports villagers to gain legal ownership of land so that they can build their own homes. Patta is the legal proof of land ownership (required for house building and agricultural use).
