Gogo Mamano is another recipient of our Housing for Elderly project. We had our builders refurbish her home.
Gogo Mamano was born in Mozambique and has lived here for many decades. Because she never became a Swazi citizen, she doesn't receive the elderly government grant of $10/month and relies on handouts for food and clothing. There are many others in the same position as Gogo Mamano and we desire to minister to to as many as we can, sharing the love and gospel of Jesus Christ. Many Mozambican refugees are often shunned here in Swaziland.
Gogo Mamano's home before we came to refurbish it.
First the house got re-framed.
Fana, one of our builders, inspects the long grass he'll use as thatch for the roof.
These bundles of short grass will be used to fill in the thatch.
Here, Fana is sewing the thatch together to make a good roof. Notice the wood frame has been filled in with rocks and mud making sturdy walls which will protect Gogo Mamano from the elements.
Jenn learns about thatching.
Gogo Mamano's house has been finished! We are thankful for the quick work that our builders did and for your contributions that made this possible. The builders will began working on Gogo Doris's house next.
