Anna’s Story
Children like Anna Nampemba, aged 9 from Zambia, deserve to be able to sleep safe at night.
Anna’s Mum Rudith was constantly worried for her children, living in a home with a door that didn’t lock and a roof that leaked when it rained.
Anna and her family moved into their new Habitat home in Kabwe, where they can stay safe, be healthier and look toward the future.
