Habitat for Humanity International
Habitat for Humanity is an international non-profit organization that builds homes for low income families. Over 1,500,000 people live in over 300,000 homes built by Habitat over its 30 year history. Habitat’s approach is oriented toward helping less fortunate families to help themselves by building homes with volunteer labor and then selling the homes to the families at an affordable cost with a zero interest mortgage. Habitat is a Christian-based organization, drawing its fundamental tenets from the biblical principles of serving the poor and charging no interest on lending money to those less fortunate. Supporters of Habitat include large numbers of religious congregations, corporations, and individuals. |
