BUILDING HOPE

REBUILDING HOMES

Hawassa Hope Building Hope initiative—Sidama, Ethiopia family celebrating new safe home, empowering vulnerable families with secure housing and community support.

As we have worked with families over the last 10 years, we have seen how critical the housing situation is. There are many situations where safety and health are jeopardized and families are living in unthinkable circumstances.  There are homes that do not provide protection from the elements or wild animals.  There are homes that do not offer safety for women on their own. Situations that bring sickness, injury, and stress upon a family. Over and over we here mothers tell us that they stay awake all night to watch their children. 

Currently communities have been having the tragedy of hyenas attacking livestock and children.

THE SOLUTION

We can make a difference in the lives of families living in such circumstances. It costs $2,000 to $6,000 (depending on location and supplies available) for a traditional home or hut to be repaired or built. The community also comes together to help provide materials for each family.  

Any extra funds not spent on construction go to give needed items for a home.

We currently have a list of homes that need repair or rebuilt.
