A BEACON OF HOPE
The vision of Habitat for Humanity International reaches around the world to 64 countries. The statistics are but numbers, yet each one represents the faces of some 400,000 men, women and children who are today decently housed. Still, in a world with 190 nations and millions of people poorly housed--there is much to be done. The challenge is clear: a world with no shacks. To learn what you can do to help, see "Light The Way."
