| Home with rusted tin and plastic on the roof secured by rocks. |

| Local home with thatched roof |
The typical home in that area is made of mud bricks or hand-made concrete blocks. The roofs are thatched or tin roof which are hold down with rocks or whatever is available.
They are not permanently secured on the house, making them subject to gusting winds.
Fortunately, WCS did not suffer any damage and could minister to the community.
