This is Catherine

• Catherine is a survivor from the genocide• She lost her husband and children• Instead, she now looks after others who were

orphaned• 10 people live in her house• She says that life is very hard• She is selfless• She trusts that God will ‘heal her house’

Catherine lives in a house with a leaking roof.....

.......with broken windows......

....with crumbling internal walls...

.....with crumbling external walls...

.....with a broken door that doesn’t close properly...

....with basic facilities...(2 adults sleep in this bed)

Catherine could have had this house....

....or one of these houses....

....in Dumbarton Village....

...but instead she stepped aside so that Colette and Pelagia whose houses were falling down could each have a new house...

....and allowed Veneranda to have the other house as she and her children had nowhere to stay!!

We believe that Catherine should live in a ‘healed house’

• She has taken on board the wishes of those who live with her and they have chosen to remain in their current community in a separate area of Jari

• Let us see God at work in raising the money and let Catherine and her extended family experience God’s goodness, grace and provision first hand

• It will cost £3500 to fully repair her house

Let this be the new Catherine...
