That evening, Junaedi returned home on his motorcycle to his house in the Mauk District, Tangerang Regency, after a day’s work. His homecoming was very different from twelve years ago, when he and his wife, Melianti, lived in a cramped space with her parents. They realized that the house was not an ideal place to start their new family life.
Habitat for Humanity Indonesia came to provide Junaedi and Melianti with a decent home. “It felt like a gift from God,” Junaedi said upon entering their newly completed two-bedroom house. This home wasn’t just a structure; it was the foundation of their community roots. Their children, now aged 12 and 9, grew up in a safe environment.
Junaedi’s life changed after obtaining a decent home. He realized how important it is for others to have adequate housing. Therefore, since 2013, he has worked as a construction assistant at Habitat for Humanity Indonesia. “I hope Habitat continues to help families achieve their dream of having a safe haven,” said Junaedi.
