What they do

Habitat for Humanity is one of the world's leading housing charities focused on long-term development, aid and poverty alleviation. Its mission is to build a safe environment where families can thrive.

Habitat for Humanity's vision is a world where everyone has a decent home. Housing poverty can be caused by a number of things - overcrowding, a lack of access to clean water and sanitation, unsanitary conditions, high rent, risk of eviction and the lack of access to public services such as schools, jobs and medical facilities are just some examples. Habitat for Humanity believes affordable housing plays a critical role in building strong and stable communities.

The aim of their work is to provide families with strength, stability and independence through housing. They aim to give them the tools to remain independent. 

Habitat builds relationship by having residents work together towards a common goal.

Construction and further operations

Habitat for Humanity relies on volunteer work to build simple, affordable housing, as well as build the community and civil society in the areas where it works. They build simple houses with local materials.

Additionally, as part of their long term goals, Habitat for Humanity came up with a project to use solar energy in order to enhance long term improvements with home building projects. This initiative allows those homes to provide their own electricity through the use of solar energy.
