Home 1
A family of three lived in the corrugated tin home located along a narrow road in a village where cattle, when not used in the field, are tightly roped to stakes outside the home.
This home was equipped with government supplied electricity and gas. There were no windows, no furniture and the home was very small. The corrugated tin roof was curiously decorated with plants stuck in ‘clay pots’.
The inside area was divided into two. At night the family’s two cattle occupied half the space and the family slept in the other half (including the kitchen) on a mat placed on the ground. A wall mounted clock was the only decoration. In the corner by the door was a two-foot square cement bathing area.
Home 2
A family of three lived in this newly constructed tin home located in the middle of a field. It was not yet equipped with electricity or gas. It also had no windows nor furniture.
Neatly aligned and polished metal pots were proudly lined up on a shelf.
The family cooked with wood inside the one room house which had a front and back door.
A raised clay platform covered in tarp in the back of the room is where the family of three slept and where water jugs were stored.
A wooden peg was used to secure the cattle in the home at night.
Both homes receiving the bedkits were looking forward to sleeping under the SCAW provided mosquito nets as they had none.
As of end of day in Bailhongal, we distributed 5,100 bedkits with five more distributions to go to reach the 7,000 total.
