Poor Fiji family in need of help

Sudesh lives in a very poor area of Fiji called Nawaka. It floods a lot and I want to raise money to lift his house on to poles

Bay of Plenty

Sudesh my brother in law works as a butcher in Nadi Fiji and earns $2.70 per hour (FJD) he is married with 3 kids. The only land Sudesh and his family can afford is a government lease which costs $500 (FDJ) per year. Every time the area floods Sudesh's house floods their beds and the kitchen get wet and filled with silt. Initially I paid $500 (NZD) to buy a house and get it moved to the site but now we need to lift it like the other houses around him and thats what we are seeking the funds for.

We will post costs and we will also provide all of our labour for free and pay for our own flights etc... we need the money for building materials (wood and iron etc...) we expect the costs to be about $5000 but any extra will be used to re floor the house, new iron for the roof and extension to add another bedroom as currently all 5 sleep in one room that is 3*4

This is an excellent solution for existing house with strong hardwood timbers. The family will be very helped with your support, we are over 1/5 there, please just give a little, even $10 a week over few weeks is easy, and soon we’ll reach goal & construct.
