We are excited to share the most recent achievements of The House Project, which reflect our deep commitment to underserved communities and the importance of giving to those in need.
Mamatha, Future Nurse in India
In Hyderabad, India, at our GreenHouse, we celebrated the inspiring story of Mamatha, a 19-year-old finishing her first year at nursing school. Raised at GreenHouse from a young age with her sister, Mamatha faced significant challenges: their parents, both HIV-positive, left them in a shelter when they were very young due to their illness. Her mother, in a very weakened condition, lost her sight but introduced her girls to the Christian faith before dying, certain that God would guide them in her absence.
In the shelter, the girls endured harsh conditions, suffering from physical and emotional abuse, such as having spices stung in their eyes and iced water thrown at their heads. However, the arrival of their aunt Mary, whom Mamatha calls "a savior sent by God," changed their lives. Mary moved the girls to GreenHouse, also known as Shanti Kirinalu, meaning "ray of hope.”
At GreenHouse, under Mary’s loving guidance, Mamatha found a stable home. Although Mary sadly passed away in 2019 from COVID-19, her daughter Prashanti has become a beacon of light in Mamatha's life, offering love, education, and a path to a promising future. Mamatha always dreamed of a career in healthcare and is currently studying nursing, grateful for the support and opportunities GreenHouse has provided for over 10 years.
Mateo and Carlitos' Nutritional Care in Venezuela
In Maracaibo, Venezuela, with the support of CASA Church and our donors, we provide about 2,400 nutritious meals per month, offering children and their families the opportunity to eat healthy meals regularly.
Mateo and Carlitos are two little brothers, 4 and 5 years old, who arrived a few days ago at the dining room in search of food. Despite their difficulties, their hope and joy shine brightly. Mateo ate first because they only had one pair of shoes to share, so Carlitos waited patiently for his turn. Moved by their story, a donor provided shoes for both.
Both boys are in their early years, when more than a million neural connections are formed every second. Ninety percent of a child's brain develops by the age of five, making it more flexible and adaptable to learning. Good nutrition at this stage facilitates optimal brain development, strengthening the foundation for children's learning and growth.
The opportunity to support our houses is enormous, and we have hundreds of stories like these. We can all illuminate a life by sharing just a little bit of what we already have. Donate here.
