This is my biggest fundraising project which will house 2 poor orphan families in rural Bangladesh. They are living in a mud hut with donated corregated steel which has a tendency to rust and let in rain as can be seen in the picture. Both the families have young children and the living conditions are harsh and difficult especially during winter conditions. The houses I am proposing to get built will have a 3 foot wall with remainder corregated steel around the edges. The steel will be finished with paint to prevent it from rusting.

The families I am helping have no parents and rely on donations from others. They are currently unskilled manual labourers and have no means of regular income. I recognise building houses is only one part of keeping them sustained for independent living. I will be looking in the future on providing them with training which will enable them to gain skills to maintain a regular income.

Please can you support me in building 2 houses that cost approximately £1000 each. Any amount you can donate would be much appreciated and will go towards the cause. Every penny raised will be donated towards the cause.

I will provide updates of pictures once the building of the houses has begun.

Kind regards,

Rukia Khatun
