Habitat for Humanity India

Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort. The housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in more than 70 countries. In India since 1983, Habitat for Humanity has supported more than 38 million people to build or improve a place they can call home. Through financial support, volunteering or adding a voice to support affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Habitat for Humanity India's vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Anchored by the conviction that safe and affordable housing break barriers to a healthier, safe, more financially stable life, Habitat works with low-income, marginalized families to build homes, provides housing-related services and raises awareness for adequate housing and sanitation. The core area of Habitat's work in India is: • Decent Shelter • WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) • Disaster Risk Reduction and Response
