Elisa's children in front of their new home

Elisa, a volunteer in the Community Garden initiated and supported by the Vhutshilo Mountain School, and her young son both suffer from asthma. They were living in a windowless mud home with thatch roofing that had seen much better days. This living situation was aggravating their asthma and sending them to the hospital regularly. HFL donors provided Elisa with a new tin roof, windows and a door. Elisa made her own bricks and with help from family and friends, built a new home. Reports so far show Elisa and her son are healthier and enjoying their newly built one room home!
