Families helped with homes by DSF

In 2021 we employed 63 locals in construction work.

Both families who received homes are Haitian Refugee families. We found these families in destitute conditions while delivering food packs in the community. In both cases, it was children and youth who asked us to help these families as their hearts were touched. In both cases, children and youth helped fund the projects. Two 13-year-old girls raised the funds for Daniel and Mirlande to have a new bed.

Housing is absolutely essential to human flourishing. Without stable shelter, it all falls apart.
