Story

Concilie is a 42 year old widow with three children. She lost her husband seven years ago. Now she is the sole provider in the family. Concilie and the children all  live in a one room 'house' built with banana leaves. There are lots of holes in the roof and walls. The rain comes in and everything is damp. Unsurprisingly, she is often ill. She has to work eight hours a day to earn just half a dollar so she can buy food for the family's one daily meal. Concilie and others like her need your help to lift them out of poverty.

12-year-old Millie, with a few others from the UK, are flying out to build a new brick house for Suavis, Concilie and others like her this Easter. A new (basic) house for just £360! 

Would you like to help? We want to raise as much money as possible to help J-Life help Concilie and other widows and orphans. We're planning a vocational training centre and more, giving them a hand-up, not just a hand-out.
