03.00 THE PRESENT SITUATION IN THE PROJECT AREA

03.11  Habitat and the home.

Most houses in the project area are made of wood, grass, mud (thatched houses) bricks, blocks, stones and iron sheets. The size of the houses depends on the size of the family and income of the person. Some houses are big and others are small. Locally available building materials include bricks, blocks, wood, mud, grass, sand, and leaves. The quality of the house depends on the type of material used and architectural techniques applied. Seasonal heating is not required here.

 

The major problem in both houses and communities is formed by smoke hazards from cooking activities, and from stagnant waters in puddles and ponds.

 

The project introduces efficient cooking stoves to eliminate smoke from homes. Stagnant waters will be eliminated by local labour operating under the local money systems set up.
