Scalisa, EswatiniBank take family out of shack

LUDZELUDZE – Look at this picture of a house, there are people who call it a home. To a family of three, there is no place they can go to except to use the small flat made of corrugated iron as a shelter.

So, they need help. Scalisa Foundation and EswatiniBank have once again partnered for a good course.

They have agreed to build a decent house for Welile Ndwandwe (23) and her brother aged 26. Welile has a child who lives with them.

She said her parents died when she was aged three years.

She said they moved to live with their grannies, but family problems began to dismantle unity such that they resolved to return home only to find that all the houses had collapsed.

They took the metal and roof material from one of the houses to build a shack.

Nhlanhla Dlamini, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of Scalisa Foundation, said they would build a decent house at Ekudzeni under Ludzeludze Inkhundla.

He said the shack was unfit for human occupation.

UNEMPLOYED

The siblings are exposed to inclement weather conditions. They are also unemployed.

Last month, EswatiniBank announced a lucrative deal with Scalisa Foundation.

The deal entails the construction of 12 houses by EswatiniBank in conjunction with the foundation over a period of three years.

This effectively means the bank for emaSwati will construct four houses per year.

Impressed with work by Scalisa the humanitarian Foundation, Ndlunkulu Nozizwe Mulela, the Managing Director of EswatiniBank announced the deal during the official handover of a solar-powered flat to a child-headed family at Mantjonga in Ngculwini last month.

The flat, handed over to two women aged 25 and 21 respectively and their dependants who included young children, was built by Scalisa Foundation in collaboration with the government-owned financial institution.
