Low Cost Housing

We supply home building materials, like tin roofs and doors to the poorest of poor villagers, identified by their village development committees. The villagers then work together to construct the homes using local materials and the materials we provide. So far, we've helped in the construction of 90 homes, changing the lives of families that previously had no shelter and few opportunities.

Solar Electricity

We deliver solar powered lights to families through our partnership with Beyond Solar, an American non-profit organization. These lights allow families to save time and money on fuel stocks. In addition, replacing their current light source (kerosene) is better for the environment and safer for their health. So far, we've delivered lights to 50 families in the villages of Kerenga block, and trained the villagers in their local language on the benefits and how to use them. The most basic benefits of the lights are immediately recognizable; kids playing in the street, parents socializing, and people continuing their work into the dark hours, which will help them earn more income.
