Voorbeeld
6 augustus 2023 - Arusha, Tanzania
Vandaag een voorbeeld van hoe we mensen kunnen helpen. Het is is het Engels, excuus daarvoor.
Names: Johny (54), David (20), Elizabeth (16), Frank (14)
Background: The family lived with their mother until the father suffered an injury and the mother left them (3 years ago). The father doesn’t have a permanent job, older brother works with father and the younger kids go to secondary school.
Health Issues: Johny was involved in an accident that badly damaged his knee 6 years ago, he is in constant pain and is unable to afford surgery to get it straightened.
Living Conditions: The family share one room between the four of them and have lived this way for 6 years, they are in need of water buckets for daily use, they struggle with food and when possible have 1 meal per day. Some days they can’t afford transport to school for the kids.
Work: Dad and older brother sell what they can find around the town (example: oil or candy).
Plan: They would like to have capital to set up a shop where they could sell supplies such as rice and beans to be able to support the family.
