That construction process saw Qualfon staff volunteering their time and providing labour at various stages.
When the home had been completed, Chichester expressed her gratitude to HfHG and Qualfon for the tremendous effort made to provide her with a home to enhance her quality of life.
HfHG’s Buy-a-Block initiative is an annual resource mobilization campaign that engages local donor organisations, groups, and individuals in a yearlong campaign to raise finances which equal the total cost of the number of concrete blocks required to build either of two types of Habitat homes.
Ms Chichester benefited from a two-bedroom lower flat home, which required 1,846 blocks. The initiative saw support from various organisations, including Qualfon Guyana, Courts, Best Buy Auto Sales, Body Max gym, Demerara Bank, Footsteps, Bounty Meat Centre, Fat Boy’s, HJ Entertainment, the Inner Wheel Club of Georgetown, and Calvary Baptist Church.
