House Construction - Yapak - Philippines

Many people in the community live in severely dilapidated homes put together with scrap pieces of tin, plywood and bamboo. When the heavy rains come each year, homes are often severely damaged, and the roofs leak. The typhoon in 2019 devastated hundreds of homes and left many more people in desperate living conditions.

Strong Roots Ministry began addressing the housing and poor living conditions within their community by assessing the needs, and as funding permits, coming alongside families to assist in repairing and rebuilding their homes.

Sharing hearts and hands for home construction

Some of the HFL staff travelled, along with their extended families, to Boracay to build a home for a family that very much needed it. With funds raised, tools donated, and a group of willing hands and hearts, a new home was built in five days! It was a special time to work with the couple and their two young children who were receiving the home. Even the grandfather eagerly pitched in!

Besides constructing the house, the group also visited several communities to distribute food hampers to needy families and gift bags to disadvantaged children.
