It has never been clearer that housing is healthcare. Having a safe, sanitary home to isolate in, running water to wash hands and electricity to store food safely is a luxury many in Africa and Asia do not have. In fact, currently 1.2 billion people globally are without adequate shelter. This places some of the most densely populated, rapidly urbanising parts of the emerging world at great risk, without the healthcare and infrastructure systems needed should the virus take hold.
During this period of social distancing and COVID-19, Reall is as passionate as ever in driving our mission forward whilst caring for our staff, their families, our partners and the communities we serve in Africa and Asia.
To deliver our ambitious mission of building an affordable homes movement to improve the lives of 100 million people on low incomes in Africa and Asia, we recognise the need to adapt how we work in the coming weeks, but not the why and the what of our work.
We are learning how to pull together through this pandemic. We know what truly matters is home, family and community. We also know how interconnected we are. This virus does not recognise borders or wealth.
As Lajana Manandhar, from our partner Lumanti in Nepal says:
We will continue to work together for a safe home for all, during this crisis and long after the pandemic is over.
