Housing Poverty in Portugal: Homes for Disabled Children (Documentary)

When we first met the Goncalves family, they were living in dire conditions. The house was crumbling and they had to share the same bedroom at night. The state of the house was an even greater concern for this family because of their 16-year-old daughter, Claudia, who has cerebral palsy.
“Because of her illness, she is very heavy. She doesn’t move so it’s complicated. The conditions of the house were of great concern to me because of Claudia. Primarily I am always thinking of her. She is the one who needs the most.”

ABOUT OUR CHARITY
One in five people across the world live in slums and substandard housing, locking them into a grinding cycle of poverty. This lack of housing negatively affects their health and well-being, educational prospects, and ability to make a living.
Habitat for Humanity’s vision is a world where everyone has a safe place to call home. We believe that a decent home helps to permanently break the cycle of poverty and allows families to achieve strength, stability, and self-reliance.
