A home is more than just a shelter; it's a fortress of stability and security. Building homes equips families with a sense of permanence, providing a foundation upon which dreams can flourish. The security of having a place to call one's own fosters a transformative sense of empowerment, instilling confidence and a belief in brighter futures.
Michael is from Nyanza Lac, South of Burundi. He is 23 years old, and is the sole caretaker of his 6 brothers and Sisters.
"My parents abandoned my siblings and I; my father first in 2013, then our mother in 2017 who left us on the streets.I took on the responsibility of taking care of my brothers and sisters because it was the right thing to do, as they were much younger than me.
I joined Together for Development sewing program January 2024 with a heavy burden, I lived a life of fear and anxiety. There were days I could not focus on the training because my mind was too occupied with the worry of finding proper shelter for my siblings. I was told to pray and trust that the Lord would provide a way where there seems no way. And indeed He did!
I graduated on 4th of May 2024 and I joined an association for tailors in Nyanza-Lac right after.
With Glo funds for House Initiatives, Together for Development supported my family to build a house. I have so much joy, knowing my family have protection and that they can rest peacefully as they continue their studies.
Thank you so much Glo for supporting our House Initiative Project. We urge you readers,supporters,and partners to continue praying for the homeless in Nyanza-Lac, Ruhororo etc.., that God will make a way possible so that no child is abandoned or forgotten.
Our hope is that families stay unified despite the challenges they face, because they believe and trust that God is for them and is working through people like us to remind them of this truth.
