Today, the 198 families who lived in "Bukavu's Hell" (1,000 people who lived in 1,000 square meters in tents with only two toilets and one faucet for water supply) live in better conditions: no more crowded under a canopy next to an open air sewer, but on the hill above, in simple tents, a little larger and brighter, but still small and dark, with inadequate hygienic conditions.
The project involves the construction of a village of small wooden houses to make their life more dignified and safe.
The first lodge was built in late 2016 and continues. In February 2017 our volunteers went to Bukavu to check on the work progress.
We are looking for funds to make a home for each family.
