Housing in Acholi Quarter

These pictures are of Acholi Quarter. What immediately struck me was the difference in housing between our bead makers and the non-Achoi Beaders who reside there. Most homes are build from mud and sticks. They are one room with a blanket to divide the sleeping quarters from the rest of the house. The walls and floor are dirt. The Acholi Residents sit on the ground with something like a potato sac as a mat. They own little or no furniture and few possessions if any. They have no electricity and the sewer runs between their homes from outhouses outside.
Contrast these photos with the ones taken from George's house. His home has a small courtyard and has multiple quarters that open up to this common area. There are two other bead maker families that live in community with his family. Notice the stucco and brick on the walls. The common area is also cemented and the whole place is painted. It is also protected with a red steel security door. Inside their homes the bead makers have furniture and basic necessities their non bead maker counterparts live without. Their floors are cement and their walls are stucco. Some of the bead makers even have T.V.s and cable!
Many of our bead makers have purchased better homes, added rooms to their existing homes, and/or upgraded their features.
Thanks to all of you who support their enterprise, this is now possible!
