How and Who will we be helping on our first trip ..............

Currently foundations are being put down for 2 houses, which means we will have the opportunity to get stuck in straight away................there will be lot of brick laying on our 2016 visit



The families we will be helping on our 2016 Trip are;

Profile for Regina
Regina is 28yrs old and comes from Dayson Village GVH Chimombo T.A Kalonga in Salima district. She takes care of 3 OVCs. The family stays in a Small one roomed house made of unburnt mud bricks with porous walls and grass thatched roof. The worst thing is that Regina is disabled and uses a wheelchair.

I thought I couldn’t own a decent house in my life. Now is different situation. Very soon I will own a decent house. I thank God for this gift.” Regina Said.

Everyday life
Regina usually wakes up in the morning and goes to the field to take care of the crops. When she comes back she prepares lunch which is usually Nsima with Vegetables. In dry season she usually go out and look for peace work to raise funds for the family. When children come back from school they help with household chores such as cleaning plates.  

Health and sanitation
The family usually suffers from Malaria because they don’t have mosquito nets. They sometimes suffer from diarrhoea especially during rainy season because they have a toilet which is in bad state. When they get sick they go to Salima district hospital which is 15KM away.

 
Profile for Esinta
Esinta is 31yrs old and comes from Dayson Village GVH Chimombo T.A Kalonga in Salima district. She takes care of 4 Orphans of which 3 are her kids and 1 is her niece. Her house collapsed in January 2016 and now she is living in her Sisters house who is temporarily in Lilongwe. This mean Esinta and kids will be homeless when her sister decides to come home.
Having a decent house is a dream I have never dreamt in my life! This is grace from God. I will work hard towards the completion of this house”. Esinta Said.
