Our CEO Jonathan Reckford recently visited Habitat for Humanity India, celebrating with families during a handover ceremony of 15 climate-resilient homes that include features such as natural ventilation, solar rooftops, and rainwater harvesting systems. He also spent time with residents in Cheeta Camp, an informal settlement with over 100,000 residents in the heart of Mumbai, engaging with families and community leaders who shared their housing challenges, opportunities and aspirations for the future. #tbt #HomeEquals

About us
Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort on a community farm in southern Georgia. The Christian housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S. and in more than 70 countries. Families and individuals in need of a hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. 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, visit habitat.org.

Habitat for Humanity International reposted this
📢 We are delighted to share The Opportunities and Impact of Housing "edutainment" report: An evaluation of Tujenge: Build It Better, an education and entertainment show on affordable housing solutions that aired in Kenya in 2022. The evaluation was conducted by Habitat for Humanity International in partnership with Dalberg Research SEZ Limited between August 2023 and February 2024. 👉 This report explores the factors that contribute to the low adoption of affordable housing solutions, making it difficult for low-income households to own homes. Factors such as income, competing expenses, transport costs, cost of financing, high cost of land and housing units, limited knowledge of a broad range of existing solutions, and the process of obtaining them, compounded by limited media content or programs focused on affordable housing solutions. 🎯 The findings, as detailed in the report, provide an in-depth analysis of Tujenge: Build It Better, on building awareness, expanding knowledge, shifting attitudes, and motivating the uptake of affordable housing solutions among housing actors and low- and middle-income households in Kenya. The show also provided a business case for other #media outlets to produce similar content focusing on #affordable #housing solutions. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eTNJVgM9.
