Kodwa eLiverpool kukho ithuba lokuthenga indlu kwipawundi enye. Kwaye ayisiyo joke.
Esona sibini sitshatileyo side siphuphe ngokuthenga indlu, kodwa akukho mali ikwazile ukuqokelela. Bakuva malunga neprojekthi "yendlu ngepawundi", bagqiba kwelokuba bathathe inxaxheba kuyo. Banikwa izindlu ezindala, abajika nje ngonyaka ngentsomi.
USam noRachel Kamow bathumela ifoto yekhaya labo kwinethiwekhi ukuze babonakalise iziphumo zomsebenzi owenziweyo.
Intsapho yaseKamau ayikaze ifumane izindlu zayo. Bayabhadula iminyaka eli-16 kumagumbi ashiyekileyo. Iintombi zabo zabantu abadala zinegumbi elincinci. Ukuthatha inxaxheba kule projekthi yayilithuba lokuba batshintshe ubomi bakho.
Kodwa xa bangena endlwini, kwakungekho mda wothuka. Kumgangatho wesibini wajikeleza umgangatho, kuyo yonke indawo ebumbayo, ugxotha iiwindows, iindonga ezimanzi. Indlu yayikwimeko elusizi, ngaphambili yakhuselwa.
Ukuvavanya ubungakanani bomsebenzi, usapho lwaqokelela yonke inyikima kwaye waqala umsebenzi. Chet Kamau ngeentombi, uAlexis oneminyaka eli-12 kunye noAna oneminyaka eli-12 kunye no-Ana oneminyaka eli-19 ubudala, unyaka wonke usebenze ekubuyiselweni kweNdlu. Yonke imali yayiya kulungisa, kwizinto ezininzi zobomi abakhe bawavuma.
Kodwa zonke iinzame azikho ilize, unyaka babekwazile ukufezekisa iziphumo ezimangalisayo, kwaye namhlanje banokubonisa ikhaya lemithombo yeendaba ekhaya kunye nosodolophu weLiverpool, Joe Andern.
URachel uthi kwakunzima kubo ukudibanisa umsebenzi kunye nokulungiswa. Kwaye kukho amaxesha apho kwakubonakala kubo ukuba yonke into ilize.
Ngo-Matshi, babethatyamba umgangatho omtsha, bafakwe iifestile zeplastiki. Kwaye emva koko kwathi qobo ukuba umsebenzi usondele ekugqityweni. NgoJuni, usapho lwaqala ukwenza izinto ezinomdla ngakumbi: Khetha ifenitshala, uthenge izixhobo zekhaya.
Ngobusuku bokuqala abakwazanga ukulala ixesha elide kwindawo entsha, babengazi ukuba eli likhaya labo.
Ngenxa yeprojekthi "yendlu ngepawundi", intsapho yonwabile. Le nkqubo inezindlu ezingama-6,000 ezifuna ukulungiswa. Iintsapho zokuqala ezisele zihlala kwizindlu ezintsha, kunye nenye ikhulu elinamashumi amahlanu abantu abalinde izicelo zabo ukuze bavume ulawulo.
Asinguye wonke umntu onokuthatha inxaxheba. Eyona meko iphambili kukusebenza okanye ukuhlala eLiverpool. Umthengi kufuneka alungiselele endlwini kwaye angayithengisi iminyaka emi-5. Abanini bezindlu ngabantu abalandela yonke imiqathango.
USodolophu wedolophu uthi usapho losapho lukaKamau ngumzekelo obalaseleyo wabahlali baseLiverpool. Bangqina ukuba banomnqweno omkhulu, unokwenza phantse yonke into.
