Be part of the solution

Historically, volunteers mobilized by Habitat for Humanity have participated primarily in construction activities. Today volunteers, while always taking action related to the theme of housing, provide much more.

In addition to building homes, volunteers help with financial education workshops, rebuild areas affected by natural disasters, and encourage others to advocate for those in need a safe place to live.

We believe that through the mobilization of volunteers in issues related to adequate housing, we achieve a just world, and open more doors to collaborate with families in need.
