Volunteer house
The house was funded by N4BW and built by the local people to house a maximum of 8 volunteers. The house is enclosed and private yet part of the local community. It is built within the grounds of the Montfort Fathers’ Mission, with their Community House a few metres away.
In the house there is a fully equipped kitchen with fridge and cooker; a living area with a dining/work table and chairs and a settee. There are four bedrooms, all with a shower and toilet ensuite. The water is rain water and as it is solar heated, is warmer at the end of the day than the beginning! The house is now provided with electricity by solar power panels on the roof. Each of the beds has a mosquito net and there is a fan in each room.
There is also a small meeting room with an outside door for the community to access for meetings etc.
