Project Report | Jul 7, 2026
Strengthening Shelter for an Elderly Caregiver

By Andrew Martin Niwagaba | Project Leader

Greetings to our valued donors, friends, and supporters.

During this reporting period, we were unable to make progress on the planned shelter intervention due to inadequate funding. The original goal of this project was to construct a safe and permanent home for an elderly grandmothers serving as the primary caregivers in their household. However, limited financial resources have prevented us from commencing construction.

In the meantime, the beneficiary family lives in a modest mud and wattle shelter that provide temporary accommodation. Recognizing the family's urgency of improving the grandmother's living conditions, we are willing to adjust our immediate objective to strengthening the existing structure. Unfortunately, resource constraints have also prevented us from undertaking these planned improvements.

The current shelter still requires essential enhancements, including structural reinforcement, internal framing, secure doors, and other improvements necessary to make it safer, more secure, and more dignified for an elderly caregiver. These remain priority interventions and will be implemented as soon as sufficient funding becomes available.

Although implementation has been delayed, the need for this project remains as urgent as ever. We remain committed to mobilizing resources and working alongside the community to improve the living conditions of vulnerable elderly caregivers who continue to shoulder significant family responsibilities despite their own vulnerability.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all our donors, friends, and supporters for standing with us. Your continued support will help us move this project from aspiration to reality and provide a safer home for an elderly caregiver who deserves to live in dignity.
