Story

My Aunty, cousins, one year old and 4 year old niece are currently living in this 'home' in Bangladesh.

There are 5 adults and two small children all packed into this tiny bamboo stick and tin house. The toilet and kitchen are mere feet apart and rain or windy weather conditions tear apart the house, only for them to have to scramble for anything to put it together again.

These are conditions that we would never ever allow anyone in developed countries, like ours in the UK, live in. These are conditions we wouldn't wish on our enemies, and this is how my family have been surviving for their entire lives.

My parents have given everything they can for all their working lives to support my dad's sister and her family, whilst also raising all 7 of me and my siblings and giving us the best life they could.

There is only so much they can do and now me and my siblings are asking for support to help us build a new sustainable home for our family in Bangladesh. We are the lucky ones that have a life that our family dream of, and we don't want them to suffer anymore. We're desperate to give our family a proper home, so we are requesting help.

My parents have calculated that it will take around £5000 to build a long term home with proper foundations to withstand adverse weather conditions, with a proper bathroom, kitchen and living space. We just want to provide them with what is only a basic human right.

Please help us however you can, and to those who believe, please pray for our family.

Thank you, JazakAllah.
