What they Build
- Habitat for Humanity's houses are simple, decent, and affordable to low-income families around the world.
- Whenever possible, they build sustainable, energy-efficient and healthy housing.
Why they Build
- Nearly 2 billion people around the world live in slum housing and over 100 million are homeless. Habitat for Humanity is needed to help eliminate poverty by providing simple, decent shelter to those in need.
- Families left homeless by natural disasters, war and civil unrest often face dire housing situations as they struggle to rebuild their lives. Habitat for Humanity’s Disaster Response program provides shelter and housing solutions to help these families recover.
