Help Build a Home for a Woman Sleeping in an Animal Cage

Donation protected
(ENG)
Imagine having no home, no bed, and no place to feel safe.

Every night, an elderly woman in Lembata, Indonesia is forced to sleep beside a goat pen—or sometimes even inside a chicken coop—just to have a roof over her head. She has no house, no family to rely on, and no permanent shelter. To protect herself from the cold night air, she curls up under the makeshift roof of an animal shed.

She came to Taman Daun, a local community group, asking for help. She could no longer bear the suffering and the constant struggle just to survive. Her daily routine is painstaking: she gathers palm leaves to make handmade brooms, which she sells for a few coins—barely enough to afford food.

Despite her strength and perseverance, living like this is not human.

We want to change her life.

Our Goal:
With your help, we aim to raise Rp150,000,000 (around 8.000€) to:

  • Buy a small piece of land in Lembata city
  • Build a modest, safe, and dignified home
  • Provide basic home furnishings
  • Give her a small business starter fund so she can live independently

Imagínate no tener un hogar, ni una cama, ni un lugar seguro donde descansar.

Cada noche, una mujer mayor en Lembata, Indonesia, se ve obligada a dormir al lado de un corral de cabras —y a veces incluso dentro de un gallinero— simplemente para tener un techo sobre su cabeza. No tiene casa, ni familia que la apoye, ni refugio permanente. Para protegerse del frío de la noche, se acurruca bajo el techo improvisado de un establo de animales.

Un día llegó a Taman Daun, una organización comunitaria local, para pedir ayuda. Ya no podía soportar más el sufrimiento y la lucha constante por sobrevivir. Su rutina diaria es agotadora: recoge hojas de palma para fabricar escobas artesanales que luego vende por unas pocas monedas—insuficientes incluso para comer.

A pesar de su fuerza y perseverancia, vivir así no es digno de ningún ser humano.

Queremos cambiar su vida.

Nuestro Objetivo:
Con tu ayuda, queremos recaudar Rp150.000.000 (alrededor de 8.000€) para:

  • Comprar un pequeño terreno en la ciudad de Lembata
  • Construirle una casa sencilla, segura y digna
  • Amueblar su hogar con lo básico
  • Darle un pequeño capital para que pueda iniciar un negocio y vivir de forma independiente
