The total cost of the project which also included the construction of a kitchen and canteen was B 1,560,000 of which PSC contributed B 1,200,000.

The Shelter which would ideally house 10-12 occupants and their carer is already full and undoubtedly will accommodate many more in the future. The building comes complete with full ablution facilities and its occupants are extremely happy in their new surroundings. As mentioned earlier this is the largest project undertaken by the PSC in its history and the success of the venture could see similar projects in the future.
