pamoja_tanzania_2011One of the directors of The Gorter Group recently visited Tanzania. In the North of Tanzania they worked on a housing building project for three extremely poor families. The families were currently living in very small houses that had been constructed from sticks and clay. They inhabited these shacks with their large families and animals as well.


The sponsoring and the building of these houses is part of a development project from Joop Paauw from Schagen. Joop has already built more than 65 houses in the region of Rundugai and surrounding areas. The building of these houses have been built by the locals and the sponsors as well to realize this project.

Gorter readily takes care of home and building improvements in the Western world, but now with this sponsorship and donation, they also able to help people in third world countries. Most people in Africa will never have a roof terrace, but now with a simple solidly built house, their lives will forever be changed and improved.
