Humanitarian--Senior Housing in Liepaja, Latvia

The governmental Housing for Senior Citizens is located in Liepaja very close to the main part of the city. This housing is provided by the government which the Seniors pay a small rent of about 15 euros. However, their utility bills run about 30 to 50 euros per month. They have little pensions coming in and kitchen items are too expensive for them. 

They have a small one room unit and a sink in the kitchen. They have a small seperate toilet, but they share a common shower. They are not provided with anything in their apartments and have to buy or bring their own items, even their own beds.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints provided 10 rental units with single beds and mattresses,  hotplates, and kettles.

The sister missionaries and the Relief Society President of the Liepaja Branch delivered the goods to the Senior Home.

This project was found by the Relief Society President in Liepaja. The branch is planning on singing carols at the home during the Christmas Season.
