FATEN’S STORY
Faten, 34 years old, lives alone in her parents’ house after their passing, while her eight children live with their father. Despite her loneliness, what weighs most heavily on her heart is the condition of the house, which is no longer suitable for living. The main room has completely collapsed due to severe moisture and is no longer safe for use. The second room is less damaged but still suffers from high humidity that worsens day after day.
The kitchen has also not been spared. Part of it has completely collapsed, and the window cannot be opened because a door has fallen against it, blocking movement inside. In the bathroom, foul odors spread due to external pipe installations that have caused ongoing problems. Every corner of the house bears the marks of neglect and time, until the place has become unfit for living, lacking safety, warmth, and comfort.
Despite all these circumstances, Faten tries her best to remain resilient, but she needs real support to restore hope to this home and provide her with a safe place where she can live with dignity and peace.
