Forty-three-year-old Sherwin De Young and his family, of Mainstay in Region Two yesterday accepted the keys to a brand-new two-bedroom home from the executive members of Men on Mission (MOM). 

The previous home of the family of seven was gutted on September 6, 2023, leaving them homeless. The two-bedroom house, along with a sofa, refrigerator, and stove, donated by KGM Security, was handed over to the family by MOM – a humanitarian initiative led by President Irfaan Ali.

Minister within the Ministry of Public Works, Deodat Indar, who hosted the handing-over ceremony, commended the Men on Mission team for its initiative. He emphasised the importance of charitable work, highlighting that President Irfaan Ali and the People’s Progressive Party are deeply committed to supporting the vulnerable. Indar said that he knew that the family faced a lot of hardship after the fire and noted that from tragedy often comes renewal.
