HOUSING

Our object is to help people in the poorest countries to have decent homes.  We try to
improve the lives of people living in slums and our aim is to support community-led
housing initiatives.  After extensive sponsored research in the Nairobi area, we have
encouraged the establishment of a self-help group of 26 families living in the Korogocho
slums.  There is an active ongoing search for a sustainable site for new housing and
progress is being made.  We are being assisted on a voluntary basis by the Kenya
Association of Architecture, linked with the School of Architecture Nairobi University;  
they will be involved in design work and establishing standards.

Details of the scheme will be announced in due course.
