Belize Bank, Hand in Hand Donates House to Ladyville Resident
Four hundred and twenty-four families and counting – that’s how many houses have been gifted through the Hand in Hand Ministries’ Building for Change Programme, improving each family’s quality of life. The neediest of the needy goes through a screening process with the humanitarian organization. Then, with the support from corporate citizens, two-bedroom wooden houses are built within days and the keys handed over to the new homeowners. Today, the Belize Bank Limited gifted a single mother from Ladyville a brand new home; it was an emotional handing over, and News Five’s Duane Moody was there.
