The Impact of Health & Housing
We believe in the biblical mandate of meeting practical needs for people. Health and Housing are critical needs that must be met before education can be a priority and meeting those needs in Jesus’ name helps spread the love of Christ.
Medical consultations are available every Sunday with 2 doctors and 1 dentist. Between January and July, 713 patients saw doctors, 45 saw a dentist, and each week 65 underweight children received feeding supplements. Two families benefitted from a Bayanihan where the communities came together to rebuild their house, and the 5 residential shelters are currently housing 72 children from crisis situations. These are just a few of the Health and Housing statistics displaying the impact of our programs.
Good health and a safe home are blessings often overlooked or taken for granted until they become uncertain. A year-end contribution to Urgent Needs can help sustain these programs for the future to continue to provide vital health and housing services to people in need. Please prayerfully consider how you can help today!
Health and Housing
Health and Housing are two critical aspects of meeting the physical needs of an individual. Even minor illnesses can cause serious issues for children and families in poverty. Being born with a disability can present challenges for anyone, but not having funds for basic medical care, much less specialized interventions, significantly increases the need.
Housing is a basic need to which every child should have access. However, when they have not home or their home is unsafe, we provide a place that is safe and loving where their needs can be met.
The HELPS model is holistic to meet all the health and housing needs.
