"There are old and sick people who need help. The mud under the wooden floor, the mould and lack of heating affects their health. I think we ought to get involve in these people's life", declared Viorel Miron, the mayor of Comanesti.

Right after the disaster made by the Trotus River in the poor neighborhoods of Comanesti, Habitat for Humanity initiated an intervention plan designed to help the affected families rebuild their homes. During 1st of October 2005 31st of January 2006, 106 families from the poor areas of the town will be helped. So far, 28 families enjoy already the warmth of their rebuilt home.

The concrete floors and the plastering works for the remaining 78 houses were finished on 5th of December, so all these families will celebrate Christmas in their own house. The remaining of December and January is for interior painting and finishing works.

Habitat for Humanity Pitesti finished the first stage of intervention project in the flooded areas: 15 houses repaired in Golesti. The repair works consisted in consolidations, repairs of interior plastering, interior painting with washable paint, joinery painting, the floors were changed. The repair works were done by the construction staff of Habitat Pitesti together with the partner families. The second stage of the project is under way: building four new houses for the families who lost their homes. We also search if it is possible to intervene with construction materials in the area of Micesti village which was badly affected by the last 2005 flooding wave.

Habitat for Humanity Pitesti proposed to assist more than 80 families as part of its projects by July 2006. Thus, by 1st of July, in five years of activity, we will have helped 110 families benefit of simple, decent and healthy houses.
