Habitat for Humanity

Building Hope all over the World

At Habitat for Humanity, we believe that everyone has the right to live in a safe, decent home and by building in partnership with those in need we aim to eliminate poverty housing all over the world.

Every morning one third of the world's population will wake up in appalling poverty. Habitat for Humanity was founded in 1976 with the sole aim of tackling poverty housing on a global scale. Thirty three years later we are working in more than 90 countries around the world and have built, repaired or renovated more than 300,000 homes in partnership with people in need of safe, decent housing.

Our homepartner families own their home and pay for them through a low cost, non-profit mortgage that recycles back into the community to sustain the local organisation and helps build more houses. A Habitat for Humanity home is a hand up - not a hand out.
