Why does it cost $5,000 to build a house in Rwanda?
The actual cost of each Living Bricks house is closer to $4,800, with the remaining $200 being allotted to Prison Fellowship Rwanda’s administrative costs related to project management and supply purchasing. Prison Fellowship Rwanda employs a small team of people to oversee the volunteers who are building the houses. $5,000 includes the cost of drawing and planning the village, and incorporating plumbing, bathroom and kitchen costs.
