Buganda home building project Report
There is NO way to promote peace, reconciliation, education, development, safety, health in and among the families who do not have shelter/home. A home is one of the most important things which contribute to the good living of a human being; that’s why at JRMD, building homes for the survivors of the war in Burundi and needy families, is one of the strategies to promote and achieve peace in a wounded nation and community by ethnic war and poverty.
The house that we build for a family, has 45 square meters (485 square feet). This house can/does accommodate a family of 7 to 10 people. It has 2 doors, 4 windows, a sitting room and 2 bedrooms. We stucco/plaster the house with cement, to protect the house from rainwater. To build one home it costs $998.
As you can see from the pictures, with the help of JRMD home building team, 68 of 100 families made by widows and needy families in Buganda village, have already made enough bricks to build a house and 45 of the 100 homes to be built there are at the stage of roofing.
As soon, as funds to purchase construction materials are raised, with the help of JRMD home building team, the work of roofing houses already built at the stage of roofing will start. Until this time I am writing this report, only $10 has been donate for this project, within a period of 3 month the project has been posted.
With Gifts for Good Campaign that will run November 20 – December 31, 2013 - Year-End Campaign starting December 1st - December 31st, 2913, when GlobalGiving will be offering NINE bonus awards to the projects that raise the most money from their supporters in GlobalGiving’s first-ever Year-End Campaign and Recurring Donation Match - During the last 12 days of the year, when GlobalGiving will be offering a one-time 100% match on all new recurring donations up to $200 per donor, December 20 - December 31, 2013, we hope to raise enough money to finish the construction of 100 houses to be built for 100 widow and needy families, in Buganda village.
