The Camera Captures a Moment in Time
Poverty housing centers a burden on the shoulders of children throughout the world—some 700 million of whom survive on less than $1 a day. Fortunately, once their families partner with Habitat to secure decent shelter, they begin to thrive and embrace the joys of childhood. Rykie Arenejas, pictured here, enjoys a better living environment as part of a Habitat homeowner family in Tagbilaran City, the Philippines.
