To date, the couple have built 200 homes with local partners in the region since the war started in February.

Pointing to a nondescript sign with"mine" in Ukrainian written in black paint, barely visible amid the foliage and rubble of the war-torn countryside, Taslim realised that he had nearly lost his life venturing into a field of landmines.

With the winters in Ukraine getting as cold as minus 20 deg C or lower, Taslim said:"If these homes are not up by winter, the cold could kill these people even before a bullet does." Lam said:"These are the people still left behind without support, who have become invisible as the world moved on from the war in Ukraine."

Each housing module is slightly bigger than a container and comes fitted with a toilet, kitchen and living spaces. These modules can be further connected and modified to create larger homes. A family of five can live in two to three modules.
