DURABLE SOLUTIONS

Meet Pinte, a remarkable 70-year-old woman whose life took a drastic turn when she was widowed and lost her sight. Displaced from her home in Quissanga in 2020, Pinte found herself in a new chapter of life at the Saul 2 Displacement Site in Metuge District.

It was here that Pinte's narrative began to shift. IOM stepped in with a multi-faceted intervention that not only addressed her immediate needs but also provided the mental health support crucial for her well-being. Alongside shelter and essential facilities like latrines, Pinte received an array of health and WASH services.

In 2022, heavy rains battered her shelter, once again pushing her to the edge of vulnerability. Faced with this challenge, Pinte turned to the IOM's Camp Coordination and Camp Management's Complaint and Feedback Mechanism. This simple act of seeking help would prove to be the catalyst for community solidarity.

Pinte's plea for assistance resonated with her fellow residents, and it was the members of the Site Maintenance Committee who rallied together to rewrite the course of her story. In a display of empathy and unity, they embarked on the construction of a new house for Pinte, defying adversity to restore a semblance of stability to her life. This tale of Pinte's journey highlights the transformative power of collective action.

"I had lost hope of living in peace again. I often feel forgotten and misunderstood because of my age and hearing problem, but they listened to me! They cared, and now I am happy to have a safe roof over my head. It is never too late to start living."
