LEXINGTON HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, INC. is a non-profit, ecumenical Christian ministry that cultivates partnerships with families in need, sponsors and volunteers to build simple, decent, affordable housing in Fayette County, Kentucky. Lexington Habitat brings people from all walks of life together, without discrimination, in order to create a stronger, more caring community. Further, as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, Lexington Habitat supports global building projects.

The Mission Ministry Team is pleased to announce that this year, First Presbyterian Church will remodel a home with our

2009 Partner,

The Massa Kiazolu family.

Massa is originally from Liberia but is now a Permanent Resident settled in Lexington. She has lived in the United States since February 2006. Massa's older child lives in Liberia with some family members but she hopes to have her come to Lexington this year, and her son, Ricks, lives with her in Lexington and attends high school.

Massa just began a new job in housekeeping at Lexington Clinic. She also works part-time at TJ Maxx. Massa and Ricks spend time at his soccer games, and Massa enjoys making cultural crafts such as quilts and necklaces. The family attends Immanuel Baptist Church. Massa is excited to achieve her goal of homeownership through the help of Lexington Habitat for Humanity and her build sponsor.

The build will begin on July 25th and tentatively run through August 22nd. Workdays are Fridays and Saturdays from 8:30 - 3:30.
