Safety should never be a luxury
When it comes to the place a family calls home.
From fire to safety
Losing your home means losing a family’s entire sense of stability and security. Laila and Ibrahim, together with their two young sons, experienced this fear when a sudden electrical fire tore through their home in East Amman.
A home rebuilt, a family restored
Although Ibrahim had a steady job, the family could barely afford the basics. Things got worse after a fire damaged the home’s wiring, windows, and doors. Rain and cold came in easily, but the family had no other place to go, so they stayed.
Habitat for Humanity Jordan stepped in. The team restored the home, repairing electrical systems, replacing doors and windows, repainting walls, and installing energy-efficient solutions, working hand in hand with the family.
For Ibrahim, the real change wasn’t just physical.
“I started to feel safe again,” he says. “We could close the bathroom door, walk around the house in peace. It finally feels like a home.”
Laila shares the same sense of relief. “We were lost and didn’t know where to start. Habitat gave us hope and brought back the feeling of having a real home.”
“We were living in darkness,” Ibrahim says. “Now our home is full of light.”
