03

Home repair support

Roofing, doors and windows, structural defects, sanitation, water access, electrical safety and accessibility improvements.

04

Rebuilding after disaster

Emergency assessment, building material support, partial or complete reconstruction with approved scope, budget and monitoring.

05

Vulnerable family housing

Substantial housing intervention for widows, elderly, orphan-led households, persons with disabilities and disaster-affected families.

Emergency shelters, transitional housing and accommodation linked to approved social programmes.
