Safe housing provides families with security and stability and helps foster a sense of community and togetherness.

Many families across the Caribbean and Latin America lack the basic elements of proper housing, such as water and sanitation. A safe home will give a family a safe place to raise their children and allow them to focus on other needs such as education and livelihood.

Food For The Poor Canada provides safe and secure homes to families across the Caribbean and Latin America, strengthening communities and creating stability.
