About This Business

Habitat for Humanity is a global movement of people working together to build more prosperous and vibrant communities by ensuring everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home. Founded in 1976 as a Christian organization, Habitat for Humanity has helped over 62 million people in countries around the world access decent housing and build their futures on their own terms. The organization achieves this by working alongside people from all walks of life to build homes, communities, and hope. Habitat for Humanity's approach involves partnering with families in need to build safe and affordable homes, with the families paying an affordable mortgage and contributing their own labor to the construction process. The organization also focuses on various sectors, including land tenure security, disaster response, microfinance, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). With a strong legacy of advocacy for affordable housing, Habitat for Humanity has been supported by notable figures such as President and Mrs. Carter, who have been champions for the cause since 1984. Through their annual Carter Work Project, the Carters have helped build and improve homes, donating their time and leadership to the organization. Habitat for Humanity's work is guided by a vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live, and the organization continues to work towards this goal through the support of donors, volunteers, and partners. By providing access to decent housing, Habitat for Humanity empowers families to build better lives for themselves and their communities, creating a more prosperous and vibrant world for all. With a presence in numerous countries around the world, Habitat for Humanity is committed to making a positive impact on the lives of people in need, one home at a time. The organization's mission is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves a safe and affordable place to call home, and that by working together, we can create a world where this is a reality for all. Through its work, Habitat for Humanity not only builds homes but also helps to build stronger, more resilient communities, where families can thrive and reach their full potential. By supporting Habitat for Humanity, individuals can help make a difference in the lives of families around the world, contributing to a more just and equitable society where everyone has access to decent housing.
