House construction updates

This year Dach überm Kopf was able to provide more than 60 homes to indigent families. This means that 2014 more than 360 indigent adults and children were provided a stable living environment. Due to an ongoing increase of prices for building materials, the price per house was increased in November. Currently a donation of € 2.800,- covers construction for a house of up to 6 indigent family members.     » To the information brochure

Beds for the orphans

This year Dach überm Kopf was able to supply the orphanages with beds and sheets for every single orphin. For almost every orphin this is the first time they are able to sleep in a bed rather than on the moist floor wrapped in blankets. During the monsoon time in Kerala the floor gets very cold during the night and because of high humidity water starts to collect on the ground.
