Temporary Housing
BACKGROUND
Several persons and families remain displaced and are living in temporary housing or tents. Many of these are living without running water, electricity or
sanitation.
The temporary housing project involves building temporary homes (domes) for four of the most vulnerable households and installing utilities (plumbing, sanitation, drainage and electricity) in these. Additionally, the project will provide 11 other households with utilities they have been living without.
STATUS: Delivery Underway
Ministry Partner: Ministry of Health and Social Development
Project Number: 154

Activity
The RDA was tasked with identifying and procuring the most appropriate temporary housing option, planning and installation of the temporary homes. These, along with a number of other vulnerable households, will be connected to electrical and water supplies and sanitation.
Result
Four households will be provided with temporary homes and connected to electrical, water and sanitation systems. Eleven other families or individuals will have utilities installed in their temporary homes that they were previously lacking.
