The Green Malata project
In the area around the Green Malata project, 6 houses have been built through the funding of the Friends of Africa Foundation. The houses have been built by the local population. Margriet Sacranie has supervised the projects. Margriet has over 50 years of experience in Malawi and knows exactly what people need for the long term.
The occupants of the new houses
Tirza now lives in one of the houses. Tirza is an orphan. As an orphan in Malawi, she has had a difficult time. Tirza did not have a home of her own. Now she has a home and feels responsible for its upkeep. Tirza says that for her this is not an end point, but a beginning point, a new start.
The people who live in the houses are chosen by the chiefs of the villages. Everything is discussed so that there is no jealousy and there is acceptance. The community takes care of the maintenance of the houses. Thanks to all donors for realising this wonderful project.
