Building a brighter future for families living in extreme poverty through new home construction.
03/04/2026
Fran is a single mother and lives with her 3 children in the Amazon region of Brazil. She is a survivor of domestic abuse and was kept as ‘prisoner’ in her own home by her husband for many years. She was able to escape with her children a few months back, go to the police and her husband is now in jail. Fran and the boys are now living in a shack and deal with significant water issues.
This is our first project in this region with Pastor Ozenildo (Ozzy) and his wife Shirlei (pictured in the green shirts). The PF team got to spend significant time with them last February and tour the community. They have a thriving church and are excited to pour into this family and see how God uses the homes for His glory! Please keep Fran and her boys in your prayers as construction begins.

Building Hope.
Paradigm Foundation is a faith-based nonprofit launched in 2014 to address the physical needs of the ultra-poor, those who lack the basic necessity of a shelter. The ministry’s initial efforts to increase dignified living are focused in the Dominican Republic and now Kenya, with the goal to build homes around the world.
Aiming to provide a safe and healthy living environment, families who are chosen by their community will receive a new, fully furnished home complete with electricity, plumbing, and clean water. While it is important to build stronger physical foundations for families in need we also believe it is important to strengthen spiritual foundations. We do this by partnering and working through the local church to identify and select the most in need in their respective community. These churches will continue to serve and walk with the family long after the build is complete.
“For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.” Hebrews 3:4
