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 35 million individuals across 26 states and 165 districts, to build or improve a place they can call home.

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

Habitat for Humanity India’s long term strategic goal for 2022 is to impact the lives of 51 million individuals in their dream of living in a safe and a decent 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. Through shelter, we empower. To learn more, donate or volunteer, visit www.habitatindia.org
