Why we work in Salima
Despite being famous for its Gule wa Mkulu dances, and rich cultural heritage, Salima has an extremely high housing need.
Many children living in Salima have been orphaned as a result of HIV and AIDS which has led to a large number of households being led by children who cannot afford to look after the home.
Housing poverty in Salima means that many of the people in the community live on less than $1 a day.
What will you do?
Expect early starts so that you can begin work before the sun is at it’s highest point. This means you will finish working a few hours before you have dinner. Typical Volunteer Activities include:
- Mixing and passing mortar
- Digging and laying foundations
- Laying bricks
- Plastering new walls

Our hearts are full today! We had the amazing opportunity to partner with habitatcabarrus to participate in a home build for Jenni, a domestic violence survivor. Huge thanks to our friends at getspectrum for sending volunteers to serve alongside aceandsmitty and our foundation to provide Jenni’s home. 📸: jonmac330

Former US President Jimmy Carter doesn’t let anything keep him down! He got right back to work Monday, helping to build Habitat for Humanity homes in Tennessee - just one day after a fall at his home left him with 14 stitches on his forehead. Find the full story on our Facebook page!
