Why We Build: Homes
[1]For Habitat, “why” isn’t a question. It’s the answer. It’s why we build. Habitat homes around the world allow families to grow to their fullest potential.

Why We Build: Communities
[2]Habitat builds because decent, affordable housing creates stronger communities. Working together establishes — in some cases, revives — vibrant neighborhoods.

Why We Build: Hope
[3]For every family we build alongside, the experience is life-changing. We build for the promise of a new start and a better life. We’ll only get there together.

The World Spins Right (video) [4]
