This family is standing in front of two houses with different roofs: one is the new, much more permanent sheet-metal roofing supplied by SLPP; the other is the old canvas roofing that wears out quickly, allowing water to leak and destroy the house's walls.  SLPP has supplied roofs to over 500 homes in the three eastern Sierra Leone villages of Foindu, Jokibu, and Pujehun.  These three villages were overrun several times by rebels during the "blood diamonds" civil war in the 1990s.  They were almost completely destroyed, and most villagers fled to refugee camps, only to return and rebuild in 2003-4.  The entire country is a peaceful and successful democracy, now.
