<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Thank you for your email – we are glad that the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology Habitat for Humanity club would like to
sponsor a house in Kenya.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Currently, a HFH Kenya house is costing US $3,400, but since we help
our homeowners build decent houses in stages/incrementally, a full house may
take a while to finish. However, with $3,400, HFH Kenya is able to finance
construction of various houses that are at different levels. For
instance, one homeowner can get a loan for building the foundation of a house,
while another can get a loan to build the walls, roof etc. In summary,
HFHK can use the full house sponsorship donation to serve various families whose
houses are either under construction or are just commencing construction.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Similarly, we are working with the internally displaced persons
(IDPs), who were left homeless following the post-election skirmishes in 2007.
These people are living in tents since their displacements and have no livelihood
means. HFH Kenya has been looking for well wishers to support this
project. So far, 83 houses have been constructed, but many more families
are still being rained on in tents. Each 3-roomed house costs US $2,400.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">For more information about both our incremental IDP housing
projects, please visit our website – <a href="http://www.hfhkenya.or.ke" target="_blank">www.hfhkenya.or.ke</a>

<p class="MsoNormal">My name is Hannah, I'm on the Executive board of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology Habitat for Humanity club and I'm writing
to tell you we are interested in sponsoring a house in Kenya. We'd be very
interested to see how the money is used and report back to our supporters on
campus. Would you be able to give us some information so we could get start the
process of sponsorship? Thanks.</p>
