Stories from Building Projects

“Mama B”

In the first quarter of 2023, a significant milestone marked our commitment to positive change as we acquired land to construct a forever home for B and her cherished family. This dwelling is not just a house; it is a sanctuary that will bestow lasting blessings upon them. The profound impact of this experience resonates not only with B's family but with us as an organisation, enriching our purpose in ways that will endure indefinitely.

B is a single Mum with four children with a story too sad to share. Despite facing tough times she stays strong. Over the years we have loved this family it became evident that for true transformation and to create self sustainability, B and her family needed a stable and secure place to call home. That's why we embarked on a mission to build B a permanent home—a place where she and her children could finally put down roots, grow food, and achieve self-sufficiency.

Guided by Craig's construction expertise, a local team embarked on a transformative building project. Initially building a 2 bedroom home, then expanding to include a functional outdoor kitchen space, vibrant painting, thoughtful produce planting, and the incorporation of a new shower area, we meticulously curated a space that now stands as a wonderful homestead. We invite you to visit and immerse yourself in the tranquility of this homestead, a testament to the power of collective effort and compassion.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to making this dream a reality. Your support has played an integral role in creating a haven that will be cherished for generations to come.

Looking ahead, 2024 will mark the conclusion of this remarkable project, with a focus on rendering and painting the exterior. As we add the final touches, we anticipate the completion of a home that not only shelters a family but also embodies the spirit of compassion and resilience. Thank you for being a part of this transformative journey, as together we build a foundation for a brighter and more hopeful future.
