HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Since 1976 Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) has helped people fulfill their dreams by building decent houses around the globe with the help of the community and thousands of volunteers. Since the day HFHI was founded more than 150,000 houses have been built and more than 625,000 people worldwide have been sheltered and the numbers are still rising. Everyday a new house is being built, new families are being sheltered, and new doors are being opened to kids thanks to Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity International provides affordable and comfortable housing a chance for a community to reach out to others, and, more importantly, a better future for children who live in poverty.
