50 new homes for flood victims

JAKARTA: Fifty families in Sukakarya, Bekasi, whose houses were damaged by floods earlier this year now have new homes, thanks to General Motors Indonesia, Yayasan Mitra Mandiri and Habitat for Humanity Indonesia.

The previously muddy road full of potholes that connects the community to the main highway has been paved with concrete.

The three-month project was completed two months ahead of the December schedule.

It was financed in part by GMI's donation of US$50,000, which was handed to Yayasan Mitra Mandiri, while Habitat for Humanity in New Zealand supplied the remaining amount needed for the 50 houses.

Yayasan Bina Masyarakat Sejahtera also contributed to the development of the community for social preparation.--JP
