Toilets selection

Our projects team has been working on the selection of families for the next constructions of toilet/shower units at Barra de Oitis Village in Diamante County. There are at least 80 families without toilets there! One family selected is that of 24 year old Katiana Lucas Ferreira who is the mother of two little boys. Her husband is away at the moment picking oranges down south. She lives off a government handout of 50 pounds a month. The selection process is done very carefully so as to make sure we are helping the poorest of the poor. Ownership of the land where the little house (mud and sticks hut) has be checked at this stage to avoid problems. For example one man seemed to be a strong candidate until we discovered that he had left his wife and the land is in her name. He is now living with someone else and has children with her. Things have to carefully gone through to avoid future problems. It is good that we have an experienced social worker in the team who is a great help in these matters. Please pray for us in these details so that God might guide us to make the right decisions which are just and wise. Other names on the short list for toilets at the moment are Francisco (2 children & wife nearly blind), Amanda (1 child and pregnant. She is separated from her husband & has depression), Marilena (3 children and separated from her husband) and Claudia (2 children).
