Story

We wanted to share with you who we are raising funds for!

The father doesn't have a fix employment and earn up to MUR6000 (£130) a month. His wife doesn't work as she is looking after her sick mother who has Alzheimer and receives a monthly allowance of MUR3000 (£75) from the Social Security Dept. for this purpose.
They have four children,
1. Andy 18 years old. Mentally deficient. Cannot work.
2. Brandy 17 years old. Secondary school.
3. Cliff 16 years old. 1st year student in a technical school.
4. Joelito 10 years old. Primary school

The family lost everything during cyclone Berguitta at the beginning of the year (house, furniture, kitchen utensils etc).

The National Empowerment Foundation then constructed one 12ft x12ft room in corrugated iron sheets and wood to house the 7 persons. However there is no toilet, bathroom or kitchen.

With the funds raised we shall give the donation to Caritas Mauritius who proposes to provide these basic amenities to them and to upgrade their yard.

Please donate generously and help this family have a decent life!!

About the charity

The Fine & Country Foundation has been created to help combat one of the largest social issues in the UK – homelessness. Last year, the Government estimated around 2,414 people sleep on the street on any one night across England, a rise of 36% over three years. Often the reasons for homelessness are misunderstood, with many blaming the individuals for poor life decisions and carelessness. The reality is: people become homeless for a whole range of complex and overlapping reasons that cannot be avoided, such as family breakdowns, mental or physical health problems or debts. Solving homelessness does not only involve putting a roof over people’s heads, it is also trying to tackle the root of the problem and asking the question: why did they became homeless in the first place? The Fine & Country Foundation is dedicated to bringing together all Fine & Country agents in over 300 locations worldwide to raise awareness of the causes of homelessness whilst supporting homeless charities.
