HBJ Gateley construction partner Frazer Wardhaugh has joined a delegation of 15 Scottish housing and community professionals on a housebuilding mission to Malawi, south-east Africa.
The delegation raised more than £35,000 to fund their venture, where they teamed up with the charity Habitat for Humanity to develop accommodation for carers of orphaned and vulnerable children.
Wardhaugh said: “Housing is of critical importance in providing safety and security for those in already exceptionally vulnerable situations. My team members and I are all driven by the desire to make a difference and help those who need it most.”
Life expectancy, infant mortality and incidence of HIV/AIDS is high in Malawi, with many orphans brought up by extended family members who already struggle to feed their own children.
