Project Report | Nov 17, 2025
Rebuilding Stability - One Home at a Time

By Samy Refaat | Relations Officer

Dear Supporters,

Thank you for continuing to stand with us in our mission to bring safety and dignity to displaced families through the A Beacon of Hope: Constructing Houses for Refugees campaign.

As you know, this project was created to provide stable, long-term housing for refugee families who have spent years living in makeshift tents and unsafe conditions. A proper home means security, privacy, warmth, and the foundation for a better future.

At the moment, however, the project is paused due to a lack of sufficient donations. We have everything in place—planning, logistics, and teams ready to build—but without the necessary funding, we cannot move forward. This also means there are no new updates to share right now.

What we can say is this:
The need is still urgent. Families continue to wait for a safe place to live. And with your help, we can restart the project and expand it to reach even more people.

Your support will allow us to begin construction on the next set of housing units. When more housing units are ready it means we can provide safe shelter for families currently living in temporary camps - and this way we will be rebuilding communities with stability, dignity, and hope.

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to turning these plans into real homes for real families.

Thank you for believing in this mission and for helping us keep hope alive for those who need it most.

The Bonyan Team
