Paulo Rebeca’s New Home!

In 2012, the ALG Launch Event financed a brand new Family Hut for Paulo Alfredo Rebeca and his family.

Fifteen-year-old Paulo shares his new hut with his single mother, little sister Josefa, who is five and Alfredo Novunga, a cheerful 10-year old. The hut has one door, one living room and one bedroom  The share a communal toilet just next door. The water fountain is reasonably close for the region, only 10 minutes walk away. Their new possessions also include 3 big water containers to store what is a scarce liquid in the village.   

Small Alfredo’s school is close by, but Paulo has to take the local bus to attend school. He is a good and dedicated student, sponsored and followed closely by our portuguese sister-charity UPG Portugal.   Their mother cultivates beans, corn and mandioca to top-up the monthly family basket they receive by UPG as part of the sponsorship programme. She also finds the time to work on neighbouring plots for  a meagre 30MT (65p) a day.   They have electricity and even TV when they can afford the monthly bill.  

The mother thanks gratefully:
” We live well in this house… Since we have it, we are so very happy, we don’t get any rain inside, we live so well.”
