Update on Ernesto

We have bought Ernesto a piece of land, built a house for the family and his daughter is sponsored to go to school. His sponsor regularly sends food for this family so they are all doing so much better than when we first met them.

Ernesto was suffering from terrible bed sores, they did not have a decent bed to sleep in, the family did not have enough food to eat and they were living in a tin shed that had been added onto a verandah.

Life is really so much better but we are still improving a few things. His electricity was connected this past week. We provided him with a new wheelchair – his old one belonged to an Institution that was asking for it to be returned.


We are seeking help to provide this family with an appropriate bathroom. What they have now is just a basic outside toilet. It does not have any walls or doors and as you can see from the photos needs to be finished.

Thank you for everyone who has made these huge changes in Ernesto’s life!
