NO LIFE WITHOUT HAVING ACCESS TO SHELTER AND FOOD
Despite the suffering situation of lack of shelter and food that many families are still living in, they continue to hope that one day, they will have access to shelter and food.
A home is one of the most important things which contribute to the good living of a human being. There is no safety, health and peace without a home and food. A home is the most intimate space we inhabit; it is the center of our daily existence, where our most significant relationships are built. To lose this place, it disturbs and affects physically and relationally. Each one of us can understand the effects of physical and relational victimization.
You can now imagine how much is painful for those who lost their homes due to a torrential rains and landslides that have left at list 100 people dead and over 1000 houses destroyed in the northern areas of Bujumbura, Capital City, including Carama location where JRMD helped 786 families to build 786 houses whom their homes were destroyed during the ethnic war.
To build one home it costs $998, a home that can accommodate a family of 7 to 10 people. . A home is one of the most important things which contribute to the good living and security of a human being. As we continue to share this need, I continue to hope and believe that donors will consider making donations to this project, so that we can help save their lives.
Until this project is fully funded, we will be sending you regular reports about our work. You'll know what your donation has helped fund, what accomplishments we have achieved and what our current needs are.
We won’t cease advocating for those in need until they are resettled and have a shelter where they can live with their families.
