Village Houses
In our village, Magozi, there are lots of mud huts with mud and straw roofs.
A mud house. It is small and dark inside. They usually have two rooms. They
store their very big bags of rice inside so there is not much room. They sit on
little low wooden stools.
Our house in
Magozi. It is
made of bricks
and has a tin roof.
It is nice to have
a good roof but it
gets very hot
inside!
The shelter on
the left is where
the pit to go to
the toilet is and it
is where we wash
in our bucket.
More houses in Magozi
Another outhouse shelter.
The door is made of flour
sack, but it is a bit ripped
now.
My friend Huruma lives here. The shelter on the right is where they
cook on a three stone fire. It is very, very smoky in there.
A concrete house in the village of Usolanga, near Magozi. It has a tin roof like
mine.
We think this might be a local government officials’ village house
Church Shelter
A village church
in Lupembe. The
roof leaked here!
Now they have a
new shelter
which is made of
bricks and has a
good roof.
The Primary School in Magozi
School Shelter
Hospital Shelter
A village hospital
clinic in
Usolanga. We are
standing by the
water tank.
Houses in Town
Our friends, Andy
and Angela live in
the big house
here. They have
lots of bedrooms
for teams who
come to stay with
us!
This is my house in Iringa!
“SHELTERS”Small shelters in Tanzania are called
“bandas.” They usually have a straw roof.
A house is called “nyumba.” They have roofs of tin or straw and mud to keep the rain out and give shade from the sun. They are made of mud or bricks.
Bigger buildings like schools and hospitals are usually made of concrete.
