Dignified housing for the Ouhmiche family
Project cost: $10,990
Context
Together, hand in hand, we have built a dignified home for the OUHMICHE family
In the heart of the Middle Atlas mountains, in Khénifra, Morocco, where temperatures can reach -5°C in winter, the Ouhmich family, made up of a mother who has been widowed for just 4 months and her 2 children, live in a single room with no kitchen or toilet.The eldest son, for lack of space, sleeps in a tent outside, where he piles up his blankets, old cookware and belongings, all exposed to the rain and cold.The family was housed in this room thanks to a cattle breeder, for whom the mother and eldest son work as shepherds, while the young boy goes to school.The accommodation (only one bedroom) is insalubrious, exposed to the freezing cold of the companion and the unbearable smells of the animal excrement they keep for the owner.The Alyatim association began by taking charge of the young orphan and launched this companion to build them a real home consisting of: two bedrooms, a kitchenette and a bathroom.We’re counting on your help to provide this vulnerable family with a home that will protect them from the elements, vandalism and give them the dignity and life they deserve.
Dear donors,
At last, we have all played our part in making the Ouhmich family's dream of a dignified and respectable home come true. For a year, the Ouhmich family had been living in a tent in difficult climatic conditions, where temperatures could reach -5°C in winter.
Today, the Ouhmich family is well settled in their new home, equipped with three bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. On behalf of the Ouhmich family, we would like to thank you for your participation, your donations and your contribution have been essential to the success of this project.
A big thank you to all of you for your support.
A big thank you to all our volunteers who followed and participated in this project from the collection of donations to its completion, and to all those who helped in any way to make the Ouhmich family's dream come true.
