During one of our random community survey, we met this gentleman by the name Aldo. Our attention was drawn to him when we saw the house he was living in. Aldo is a disabled individual with no family members. He lived in unimaginable conditions. The house he was living in was barely a shelter. It wasn’t a proper house. Brick walls that had already fallen down on one side, a roof that one side was old iron sheets and another side just covered with old blankets.
During windy seasons, Aldo fears the house might fall down, worst, fall on him while asleep. During rainy seasons, the house gets flooded and he doesn’t have a place to sleep for days. His situation is heartbreaking and he is just one of the many facing the same struggles.
For individuals like Aldo, living in such unsafe conditions can be very dangerous. Without proper shelter and adequate support their lives are at constant risk. Luckily, we changed that for him. We built Aldo a new shelter, a safe place to call home. Somewhere he can find his comfort rest with no fear.
There are still countless others living in such desperate conditions. We are committed to improving living conditions for vulnerable individuals within the communities and ensuring that no one is left behind.
