Khuuyu School teacher’s house properly roofed
School communities build their own houses for teachers, meaning the government will supply a trained teacher and pay their wages. However, very few communities can afford the cement for mortar, so dambo sand is used instead. Corrugated iron is also unaffordable, so many houses are grass-thatched. The better the house, the more likely the school is to attract a good teacher, so when possible, we help with roofing. This is Khuuyu’s first teacher’s house and Moffat Banda, our building supervisor, reroofed it over a 3 days period.
