Wayzay is an impoverished, elderly widow whose granddaughter lived with her in a hut that was about to fall down and did not protect them from the rain.

The Mossy Foot Project, with community help from the local church, decided to combine efforts in building a new house for Wayzay.

Wayzay was delighted with her new, weather-proof house built by the Mossy Foot Project in cooperation with workers from the church community.  A big smile illuminated her face as she posed inside her home with Pastor Zewdie the Mossy Foot Project Pastor.  As a house warming present, Wayzay was given artificial flowers, a rooster and two hens.  Also, her neighbors plowed the field behind her house and planted it with false banana plants.
