Village Houses
The local village
houses are built out of wood on wood stilts. The average house
lasts about 3-5 years before needing to be rebuilt. After the
hurricane there are a few families that are unable to rebuild their
dilapidated houses. An old widow, a single mother, a poor family
with a crippled father, a poor lay pastor. We would like to try
and raise money to build a house for each of them. Cement will last
many generations and will serve as a shelter for the village people
during a hurricane.
Cost of a new cement house: $3500
October 13, 2009: We have $1700 of the $3500 raised for our first widow's house. See the pictures of the house. We plan to start in December and put up the walls in February. If you are interested in a project, this is the one!
