I have been looking for a model house for one Upendo Family. The unit houses a minimum of 12 children but a maximum of 16 children. This is an ideal unit for one volunteer woman to use in the care of the orphans we are helping. Care has been taken to secure the building from both wild animals and burglary. This compact and yet spacious unit will be very safe and comfortable for all the children.
I originally did not envisage such a unit being expensive ( $ 43,000!). The Diocesan professional assessors in Njombe have given the number, and I guess I have to wake up and face reality. May the heavens help us as we help ourselves.
