Habitat for Humanity
 United Kingdom  |  Research/Dev

We believe that everyone has the right to live in a safe decent home and by building in partnership with those in need we aim to eliminate poverty housing all over the world.

Our goal is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. We invite people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need. We have built over 300,000 houses around the world and we are currently serving a low-income family somewhere around the world through new house construction, major house rehabilitation projects and with house repairs. Thanks to Habitat for Humanity over one and a half million people now have safe, decent, affordable shelter. HFH believes that decent housing is a fundamental human right and that inadequate housing impacts on the capacity to work (including education), on health (especially of mothers and children) and on gender equality (HFH works mostly with women). We believe that it is our moral and religious duty to ensure that we are part of a world where no one has to live in poverty; where everyone has access to food, shelter and clean water; to a livelihood, health and education. HFH also believes that work on shelter and housing ties the other basic human rights issues together effectively as a significant and necessary crosscutting intervention.
