Moses - Housing & Welfare Support
MOSES
Restoring stability, health, and independence through safe housing and targeted support.
HIS STORY
Moses experienced extreme hardship following the death of his wife, the loss of his children, and the loss of both income and housing. As a result, he became homeless and lived on an exposed island on the Nile for approximately two years.
During this time, he had minimal access to food, no bedding or basic furniture, and was exposed to significant environmental risks, including dangerous snakes. His health deteriorated due to untreated infections and dietary-related illnesses, and he had no means to access medical care or rebuild stability.
Support was initiated to address his immediate needs and assist him in transitioning from homelessness to a safe, stable, and sustainable living situation.
INTERVENTION.
Support focused on addressing immediate needs while creating a pathway toward long-term stability and independence. This has included:
- Provision of a safe house with cement flooring
- Supply of essential household items, including bedding, furniture, cooking utensils, and a mosquito net
- Provision of clothing and basic necessities
- Medical assessment and treatment for infected hands and stomach ulcers
- Construction and provision of a boat to support sustainable income generation through fishing
- Ongoing coordination through trusted local partners to ensure appropriate use of resources

OUTCOME & IMPACT.
Moses now has access to safe and stable housing, significantly reducing his exposure to environmental hazards and improving his overall living conditions. Access to medical care has led to improvements in his health, including treatment of infections of his hands and stomach.
With reliable access to essential resources such as food, bedding, and household items, his day-to-day wellbeing has improved substantially. The provision of a boat has enabled him to generate income through fishing, restoring a level of financial independence and stability.
Together, these changes have significantly improved Moses’ quality of life, allowing him to move from a state of extreme vulnerability to one of increased safety, dignity, and self-sufficiency.
FUNDING & DELIVERY MODEL.
This intervention was funded through direct donations.
Funds were used to secure housing, purchase essential household items, provide medical care, and support income-generating opportunities. The boat and other resources were procured and delivered through trusted local partners to ensure appropriate use and long-term benefit.
Payments were made directly for accommodation, equipment, and medical expenses, with no funds given directly to Moses. This approach ensures accountability and that resources are used effectively to support his needs.
