[QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 30072, member: 2262"] The government wants Malawians to build stronger houses that can withstand bad weather. Three new types of houses appeared Thursday in Chikwawa. Illovo Sugar Malawi and Catholic Relief Services paid for these houses. These special homes cost less money but stay strong during storms and floods. Lands Minister Deus Gumba came to see these new houses. He said they show everyone how to make good homes without spending lots of cash. He believes every person in Malawi deserves a decent place to live that stays standing when nature hits hard. The government plans to work with many groups to help citizens build better houses. Kondwani Msimuko from Illovo Sugar Malawi asked locals to copy these house plans. He pointed out that Chikwawa faces many floods each year. He thinks these tough, cheap houses will keep families safer when water rises. Floods happen more often these days because of changing weather patterns across the country. Sekai Mudonhi from CRS Malawi explained that local workers built these houses with materials found nearby. She wants community members to visit and look at all the different house styles. People can pick the design that works best for their family needs. Building methods match what local builders already know how to do. [/QUOTE]
