Safe, secure housing transforms lives.
Over 1,400 houses have been built through Rainbow Network’s housing program. Usually built 25 at a time, these basic homes are made of concrete blocks, with a secure wood or metal door and a cement floor to prevent parasites. The houses provide families with access to basic electricity, a latrine and an outdoor cooking stove to reduce smoke-related respiratory illness.
Rainbow Network homes provide families with protection from floods, insects, and summer heat.
Families now have a safe space to call their own, often for the first time in their life.
Housing projects are based on land availability within communities. Community participation in construction is essential to the Rainbow Network housing model. This encourages independence, a sense of pride, and growth in the communities.
At the end of each project is a joyful housing dedication ceremony, where families receive the keys to their new home!
