50 new homes for flood victims

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
