The aim of Hope-into-Homes is to unite Edinburgh's communities behind a humanitarian project, to assist Edinburgh's diverse communities to live and work together with a better understanding of each other's values and beliefs.

 

To this end, Hope-into-Homes will be sending a team of about 12 people - some Christian, some Muslim, and some of no declared faith - to Kyrgyzstan in July 2007 to build homes for families in need. This will be our second trip there: we worked on three houses in Bishkek last July.  We are also supporting a team to build in Hungary at the same time, in the town of  Csurgo. To allow this to happen the team needs to raise £33,500.  For more information please visit our web site at www.hope-into-homes.org.uk. £5 will buy us a hammer or saw, £45 will buy us a wheelbarrow!

 

This project is jointly sponsored by Habitat for Humanity and the Edinburgh Interfaith Association.
