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.

New home brings hope

Renew Church was involved in two house-related projects; the first was to pull down an older, dilapidated house, and the second was to construct a new house.  

The new house is a 10x16 foot home with 4 bedrooms that will accommodate the 7-person family that so much needed a well-built place to live. The team built a structure with a sheet metal roof, plywood walls and doors to match.  

The impact of the project was obvious as the husband and wife cried as their new home was dedicated, and the keys turned over to them. For them, it is not just a new building; it is a symbol of the improvement in their daily lives that this home would bring to their family.
