A New House For Sheila & Leila
May 2020
Sheila (aged 8) & Leila (aged 7) are both beneficiaries of the Nasio Trust. Their home was built on clay soil and the recent floods had destabilised it to the point where it was dangerous to enter.
Their grandmother (and guardian) set about building a new house to provide them with a safe home.
The family’s neighbours decided that they would help and donated:
- 36 iron roofing sheets
- timber poles
The Nasio Trust were then able to offer:
- 5kg of nails
- doors
- windows
- and a food parcel
The community, the family and other guardians from our Noah’s Ark early childhood development centre, then set to work! In no time at all the family had a new, safe, stable home! Thank you to everyone involved.
