About
In order to facilitate all the projects at Village of Hope, we need a dwelling that will house volunteers who come to work the land. The project is to build a simple, two-room, thatch-roof house. It is built with bricks made by the hands of villagers.
The house will provide In Mission with a “home-base” that allows visitations and a place to stay where leaders and volunteers can be present with the mission, connect with the people, and further the physical work being done to complete Village of Hope.
The cost of the house is minimal, but its impact is huge. Other than an opportunity to live with the people, it is a way to tell the village that In Mission is coming.
Location
The village of Namialo, located in the northeastern region of Mozambique.
The first step is to build infrastructure on the land, such as a well, classrooms, a kitchen, a soccer field, and others. The property also needs to be fenced all the way around it. See Project 2 for more information.
The second step is to institute a nutritional program through which families can acquire fortified cornmeal and other nutrient-rich foods. This may include education regarding livestock, water collection, and farming.
The third step is to begin a church that meets in the community center.
The fourth step is to begin providing literacy training for children and adults who would like to learn to read or improve their reading. This includes hiring teachers and providing materials, like books.
