House Construction
In Malawi, approximately 75% of the population live in mud brick and grass thatched huts,
which cannot withstand natural hazards such as strong winds and floods. During the rainy
season, many families have to live with water entering their houses.
A well-built Shelter means survival in times of disaster and safeguards human dignity.
One Nation is aiming to build new houses, which will consist of two bedrooms, kitchen, a
lounge and a veranda (33 square meters). An external bathroom will also be built.
