A Home for Hanna: Day One

Monday through Wednesday this week the team from Sunbelt will be constructing a new home for eighty-year-old grandmother Hanna Wanjiru.Hanna is a hard worker. At her age, she still farms on her one acre of land. Currently, she onions and beans planted.

Hanna currently lives with her three grandsons in a one room house. She took her grandchildren in 8 years ago when they were abandoned by their parents to live on the streets. They all live in the same room, along with her few chickens and goats.


At the end of these three days, Sunbelt Team and members of Shalom Church will move Hanna and her family into her new home!


The new house will have 4 rooms. Her current room will be converted into a kitchen, and there will be a pen for her goats and chickens on one side. The team will also be adding fencing around her compound.
