Miriam from Mawiyah lived in a small house with her husband and children without a ceiling.

Her husband seeks day labor jobs but his wage barely covers enough to feed the family. With no ceiling, the family was getting rained on, while snakes and insects come into the house as well. They said they couldn’t afford to build a roof because with such little money, they had to make a choice between food to eat or a roof over their heads.

With ITDC’s provision of food support for six months, they saved enough money to build themselves a ceiling.
