Our Director Isabel wanted to share a memory from her time working with Teto 6 years ago!
Through charity fundraising she experienced first hand social impact and the difference that can be made in society ...she wanted to bring her knowledge to the UK to collaborate with the private rented sector and Providers accross the UK to provide much needed sustainable and ethical housing ❤️🏘️❤️
I can’t believe I was 20 when I met this family. I was leading the construction in a community in the coast of São Paulo, Brasil, called Areião. We were going to build 16 houses in the space of 6 days - this takes 2/3 month to prepare.
This family was one of the families we built a house with. She was the grandmother of the cute little boy that had had several respiratory issues, including Dengue, due to the condition of their house (cardboard paper put together).
In a letter the grandmother wrote to me at the end of the construction, she shared that she had bought rat poison for her and her grandson because life was too hard to live and that Teto had given her the will to fight on. I still have this letter in my bedside table as it gives me the will to continue fighting for what i believe in which is my ability to improve people’s lives.
I am so blessed to be working creating such change through Auxilium Property Management and KIS Sourcing Limited Living the dream - even if some days it can be challenging as most people in property in this market will know!
Isabel we are trully blessed to have you as a Director ❤️❤️❤️
