A SINGLE mother from Coffee Grove in Region Two celebrated Eid-ul-Fitr in a truly special way after receiving a brand-new home under the Men on Mission (MoM) initiative.

Prior to receiving this house, she lived in a dilapidated wooden building for years. The story of her plight was shared with Minister within the Ministry of Public Works, Madanlall Ramraj, who acted on the request for betterment.

For years, the single mother, Farah Mohamed, struggled to provide a safe and comfortable living environment for her two children. Today, that hardship has been replaced with joy, relief, and renewed hope as she steps into a new chapter of her life.

The keys to her new home were officially handed over on Saturday in the presence of Minister Ramraj; Regional Chairman Devin Mohan, and Vice Chairman, Humace Oodit, who all shared in the heartfelt moment. She was handed over the keys on an auspicious day for her religion.

Built on the same property where her previous structure once stood, the house now offers improved safety, comfort, and dignity for Mohamed and her family.

This initiative was made possible through the support of contractor Takash Persaud and marks the seventh home completed under the MoM programme in the region.

The region, through the Men on Mission Initiative, has been collaborating with the business community to ensure that the houses are built for those in need.

Persaud said he was happy to do such since it’s one of his corporate social responsibilities. He said he was happy that the mother will now live in a more comfortable house.

Overcome with happiness, Mohamed expressed sincere gratitude to the Men on Mission initiative and Minister Ramraj, describing the gift of a new home on Eid Day as a life-changing blessing. She said she no longer has to worry about heavy rainfall and leaking roofs.
