How your donation reaches them

  1. Assessment

    Field teams assess housing and prioritise the most vulnerable families.

  2. Build

    Local builders construct the brick walls and fit the metal roof.

  3. Handover

    The family moves in, and donors receive photos and a report.

  4. Follow-up

    We return after the first rains to confirm the home is sound.

Many families we serve live in homes that flood every rainy season: mud walls collapsing, roofs leaking over sleeping children. A Shelter for All home is a simple, durable brick house with a metal roof, built with local labour.

Families are chosen by assessment, prioritising widows, the elderly and those with disabled members, and every build is photographed from survey to handover.
