Electricity and water has become the norm for us. We get frustrated if one of the two is not available. When we visited Victoria Hlope's one bedroom "house", we realized that running water, electricity and bathroom facilities are luxuries.

Victoria Hlophe is a widow with three children whose husband died in a truck accident. In 2006 she stayed with her parents and started to build a one room house for herself. Unfortunately she ran out of money and couldn’t finish it.

As a project we completed the building for her in 2007 and she and her daughter moved in, this became their kitchen and bedroom. She didn’t have any other support and we decided to help her and her children to extend this one room to a four room house. In 2008 the building of the open plan kitchen-lounge, bathroom and a room for the two boys started.

With this project we want to reach out to people like Victoria and her children to help them to increase their standard of living. One main priority is to complete the half-build room in her house. Any help would be appreciated.

On Saturday the 28^th of Feb 2009 we had a work session at Victoria Hlope’s house. We screeted the floor of the main living area, we scraped and painted most of the window frames and the roof trusses were also treated for the sun. The house is making excellent progress and we would like to thank all people involved.
