Homes for Hope

 Dear Friends,

We hope all is well with you and yours. As many of you know one of KIDS focuses is to provide decent houses to very poor families living in the brick factory area. Many families live in terrible conditions due to poor wages. Even the children have to work in the factories to help their families make a living.

Each year, thanks to K.I.D.S. donors, we are able to help some of the families, who's children attend our Smart Kids English Education program. The principal of the school and our coordinator of the Smart Kids program decide on which families are the most in need of a decent place to live. We also visit the houses that the families have to live in and are always moved by the terrible conditions they must endure.

This past year, thanks to our donors, we have been able to build five new houses for the poorest families. One family had to live inside the brick factory in the corner of the open building without walls, a dirt floor and not a private bathroom. Needless to say the families are thrilled to have a decent home to live in.

Recently we went out to deliver some basic needs for the homes, like: mats, cleaning supplies, blankets and mosquito nets. One of the mothers cried and as we gave her a hug; she deeply thanked all of us for helping she and her family live a decent life.

It is truly heartwarming to visit the families once they have moved into their new homes, it will change their lives for the better and they are incredibly grateful.

There are many children who live, work and play in the brick factories. 

Thank you for improving the lives of some of them and for helping us create better futures for the children. 

Wishing You and Yours all the very best, 
Till Next Time, 
Adrianne and Rick
