Foster Housing Construction
The Central Province, with a population of 2,558,716 across its three districts, is the second most populated province in the country. Although the Department of Housing continues to provide state-funded housing assistance to low-income families selected from 41 Divisional Secretariat Divisions in the Central Province, housing development in the region does not yet appear to have reached a significant level.
To bridge the gap in the challenges faced by low-income families, this program aims to identify financially capable donors who are interested in social service. The objective is to provide necessary support to selected low-income families to construct a house through the financial, material, or labor contributions of these donors.
