The Department of Human Settlements has been at the forefront of supporting families affected by disasters and climate change. Our efforts have provided emergency shelters, housing support, and essential building materials to families displaced by floods, fires, and storms. With the unwavering support from the Gift of the Givers, we’re able to extend relief packages that include food, clothing, and psychological support to communities in need. But our commitment doesn’t stop here.
Our partnership with Total Energies and Gift of the Givers is a shining example of our shared responsibility to support vulnerable communities. Social responsibility is not solely the government's burden; it is a collective duty. This relief effort represents more than just aid; it is a beacon of hope, a testament to what we can achieve when we prioritize humanity over all else.
We must reject the narrative that certain areas are inaccessible. Today, we stand as proof that when we work together, there are no insurmountable obstacles.To our beneficiaries, please know that this support is not merely a handout—it is a hand-up. We are here to empower you to break cycles of poverty, to dream bigger, and to achieve success.
