Imagine this: Your family has a home that is secure, but unhealthy. The dirt floor can never be sufficiently cleaned to rid it of the parasites that attack your children's innards, leaving them undernourished. It is uneven, and turns muddy during the rainy season.
Replacing a dirt floor with cement results in 13% less diarrhea and a 20% reduction in the occurance of anemia, according to UC Berkeley's Center of Evaluation for Global Action. Consequently, the better nourished toddlers score 30% higher on language and communication skills and have a 9% improvement on vocabulary skills.
As 2024 ends, GHA has laid our 178th floor, significantly changing the lives of that many families, and those are in addition to the 47 whole-house builds we've accomplished since our inception in 2011.
And the pride! The change is boosts a family in marvelous ways.
You, the donors, can too feel pride, using your funds to so easily, inexpensively, and anonymously be the giver of wellbeing for friends you'll never meet, friends who have so little materially, friends whose gratitude you can bet on.
We thank you for them, and for letting us put your money towards direct service.
