Jonica Homes
Safer shelter and a place to rebuild for vulnerable and disaster-affected households.
A place to rebuild
Overview
Jonica Homes is the shelter activity within Jibu Rapid Response. It supports vulnerable and disaster-affected households through home construction, essential repairs and partnerships for safer, dignified shelter. Our appeal for Millicent puts this work into practice: bringing donors, community partners and skilled professionals together to help her secure a safer place to call home.
Why this matters
A home should offer protection from the weather, privacy and somewhere to keep personal belongings securely. For households unable to strengthen their homes or afford alternative accommodation, flooding or displacement can mean losing shelter with no clear way to rebuild.
Long-term goal
Support 30 households with home construction or essential repairs through Jonica Homes.
Short-term goal
Complete five household shelter projects, beginning with Millicent's home in Homa Bay County.
Overall objective
Mobilise financial, material and professional contributions to deliver safer, dignified shelter for vulnerable households.

- 01 Assess proposed construction or repair needs with qualified personnel.
- 02 Prepare project budgets and mobilise financial, material and professional contributions.
- 03 Coordinate construction or repairs with qualified professionals.
- 04 Document progress and confirm completion with participating households.
