SHELTER. A fundamental human need, essential for our survival, growth, and prosperity. Shelter provides a roof over our heads, a place to call home, and a sense of belonging. Sheltering us from harsh weather conditions, extreme temperatures, and natural disasters. Shelter gives peace of mind, freedom from fear, and a sense of stability. Shelter promotes dignity, privacy, mental and emotional well-being. Shelter offers social and economic foundation that enables us to build strong relationships, participate in our communities and achieve our goals.

In El Sauce Nicaragua, 4 Walls is on pace to construct 12 houses in 2026 at a cost of $2,500 - $3,000 per house. Your donation to 4 Walls will not only provide shelter to a family but it will provide safety, security, dignity, refuge from chronic stress and vulnerability, and the basis for prosperity.

I want to share a few of the student updates we have for the fall. This is for Aziza, Yusuph Mmbaga daughter. The letter tells you much of the story. Her grades are excellent. Please read the letter to get an idea of her student life.

From Aziza...
Dear sir/madam
RE: UPDATE ON MY SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY LIFE
I hope this letter finds you in good health and happiness. I am writing to express my sincere
gratitude for your continued support and to update you on how my school and university life is
going, as well as how I am coping with life here in India.
First and foremost, I would like to thank you for the great role you are playing in my education
and personal development. Your support means a lot to me, and I am truly grateful for the
opportunity to continue pursuing my studies.
My university life is going well so far. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Pharmacy
(B.Pharm), and my studies are helping me gain more knowledge and skills in the field of
pharmacy. University life comes with its own challenges, especially when it comes to
understanding new topics, managing assignments, preparing for examinations, and balancing
my time effectively. However, I am doing my best to stay focused, work hard, and improve my
academic performance. I am learning to become more responsible, independent, and
disciplined in my studies.
Regarding life in India, adapting to a new country has been an important learning experience for
me. Living away from home has taught me how to take care of myself, manage my daily
activities, and adjust to a different culture and environment. Although there are times when I
miss my family and the comfort of home, I am gradually learning to cope with these feelings and
make the most of my experience here. I am also learning to interact with different people,
understand new customs, and become more confident in handling everyday challenges.
Despite the difficulties that sometimes arise, I remain hopeful and determined to achieve my
goals. I understand that education requires patience, commitment, and sacrifice, and I am
willing to put in the effort needed to succeed. My main goal is to complete my studies
successfully, acquire the necessary professional skills, and use the knowledge I gain to build a
better future for myself and contribute positively to society.
Once again, thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and continued support. Your
contribution to my education is making a meaningful difference in my life. I do not take this
opportunity for granted, and I promise to continue working hard and making good use of the
support you have given me.
May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and reward you for everything you are doing
to support my education.
I look forward to sharing more positive progress with you in the future.
Yours sincerely
Aziza Yusuph

It is hard to imagine going to a foreign country to go to school. You have to learn a new language, get certified to get a job, not see your family for 4 years because too expensive to go home and be in a totally different culture and and environment. That is what Hemed has done. Amazing.

Here is his thanks to his support from many of you.

"I am writing to express my sincere gratitude as I complete my third year of college abroad with
one final year remaining studying here has been the greatest turning point in both my education
and my personal life simply living and learning in this environment has taught me important
lessons about hard work, discipline, independence, and the realities of life that no school in
Tanzania could have given me when I return home I plan to use this knowledge to guide young
people who believe that life in Europe is easy I want to help them understand that success
abroad requires serious effort, sacrifice, and perseverance, so they can make wiser decisions
about their own futures and avoid unrealistic expectations I am constantly learning new things,
and none of this growth would have been possible without your generous support in paying my
school fees Thank you for making this opportunity possible.

International Day of Rural Women: October 15th.
Rural women make up roughly 25% of the world's population and about 43% of the agricultural workforce in developing countries.
Only around 20% of landholders globally are women.
Rural women frequently earn lower wages, face restricted access to credit and healthcare, and shoulder a disproportionate share of unpaid domestic and care work.
According to the UN Women, giving women farmers the same access to productive resources as men could increase agricultural yields by 20% to 30% and reduce global hunger significantly.
Many of our projects support women and their families in combatting rural poverty, improving food security and promoting education and vocational opportunities. A donation to JOS can make a difference! https://journeysofsolutions.org/

National Child Health Day is our chance to highlight our Oullo Family Medical Center project. Child Health Day raises awareness about children's healthcare, proper nutrition, immunizations, safety and mental health support systems. The Oullo Family Medical Center provides basic healthcare to students and local residents in the rural village of Kameke, Uganda. Without the clinic many days of learning – and lives – are lost to common treatable diarrheal, respiratory, and parasitic infections. With no way to safely quarantine or care for ill students, sick children of all ages must travel long distances home, alone, while potentially infecting others.
Your support will make a tremendous difference to the health, happiness, and future possibilities of Kameke’s young students. Learn more and donate at:

Update on the Nepal Flood disaster relief.

Pictured is a before and after of the upper most village. Funds have been sent to that village. Rescue teams were sent in but due another flood had to be evacuated. Remaining people brought to Kathmandu living in tents. The children of families with no parents or one parent are being supported for their school fees for the next year or two. Thanks to all who responded quickly to help us with this tragic and urgent situation. All this has been accomplished by supporting our friends at Khumbi-Ila Voyage who are organizing the work and adding in funds and volunteers. We have known them almost 40 years. To donate to the effort put "Nepal" in the comment line. 100 % goes to the projects on the ground (minus bank fees) https://journeysofsolutions.org/d

Travel has a way of opening your eyes - and your heart. While abroad, our project leaders have witnessed real needs that deserve support and dignity. They came home feeling called to do more than simply remember; they wanted to make a meaningful difference. Have you traveled and been called to make a difference? Have you stayed home but have ties abroad and know where support is needed? Journeys of Solutions can help you to create real change. Together we can turn your awareness into action.
