Five Region Three families yesterday received core homes from the Ministry of Housing and Water.
Addressing the importance of the initiative, Minister of Housing and Water, Collin D Croal remarked, “This activity is simple but to the beneficiaries, it means a lot. This is about bringing upliftment to our citizens; bringing upliftment to families and to provide a better environment so we can all be happy”.
Beneficiary, Enduko Glenmore, revealed that despite owning his land for a decade, circumstances prevented him from building a proper home, a release from the Central Housing and Planning Authority said. Consequently, he resorted to a makeshift shack in his yard.
“We could have survived in this little thing and we’re much more better in this one,” he said, indicating the structure he formerly occupied and then pointing towards the new core home on his property.
Glenmore said that other family members would be joining him in the new residence, expressing his joy at the prospect of expanding the home in the future. He also expressed his gratitude to the Housing Ministry and the Irfaan Ali-led Government, the release said.
