Mozambique Building Project
May 2009

May 2009 saw the SISK Group partnering with Habitat for Humanity (HFH) Ireland to work on their ‘Global Village: Orphans & Vulnerable Children’ project in Mozambique. This afforded ten SISK Group staff members the opportunity to travel to Mozambique for eight days to help ensure that the most needy and vulnerable of society are given the opportunity to grow up within their family units and communities.

The group of ten was formed and the planning and fundraising began in earnest. With the SISK Group meeting the costs of travel and accommodation, the team were gladly spreading the word that every penny raised would be spent directly on materials for the houses they would be building. In spite of the short lead time to departure, coupled with the current economic climate, the response to their fundraising was overwhelming. Each team member far exceeded their target of €2,000 and between them raised over €26,000. When added to the SISK Group contribution, the overall total achieved reached over €46,000.
