Project No. 5:
A housing programme for better health,
construction of small affordable family-homes

Native houses in Igbeagu-Izzi

Native houses in Igbeagu-
Izzi, Ebonyi State, Nigeria

Termites attack after short time
new grassroofs

These Termites have their nest in the grassroof

The grassroof of a native house has to be renewed every two or three years

A strong storm has destroyed the roof of this family-house

In the dry season many hou-
ses are desroyed by bushfire

Houses in which nobody lives go to ruin in short time

This family decided to build a resistent new home in the same size with laterite blocks
