Hope into Homes are organising fundraising for ther 2008 trips to build houses in Kyrgyzstan and Malawi. By doing this, we aim to achieve several goals:
To show that people of different faiths can work together.

To raise money for Habitat for Humanity.

Hope into Homes has organised a number of house building trips in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity over recent years. You can read about the group's efforts in more details at our web-site. As part of our work this year, we will be sending a team to Malawi. Fund raising is an important first step in this process, so your donations are most welcome. The target for the walk represents only part of our fund-raising (equivalent to the donation we need to make as a team). This page was originally set up for a sponsored walk we did in May, but we are keeping it open as a way to enable more sponsorship. Other expenses are being met by other fund-raising activities.

In Malawi, an estimated four out of five families and their children live in substandard homes. Tragically, they have little hope of ever being able to afford a decent house.

A typical village hut of wattle and daub also has a dirt floor and thatched roof requiring frequent repair. Such awful conditions put families at risk of all kinds of diseases. Leaky roofs make houses damp and mud floors attract insects and intestinal parasites.
