We are honored to be just one part of the incredible differences President Carter made in the world. For more than three decades, the Carters shared their unwavering passion for helping others with Habitat for Humanity, leading the Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project and tirelessly dedicating their hands and their voices toward a vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Because of their devotion, President and Mrs. Carter were named as our inaugural Habitat Humanitarians, the highest honor given to champions of our mission.

What a loss! I think he was too good to be a president (by today's standards). If more people were like him and Rosalynn, the world would be a MUCH kinder and nicer world. The work they did, with much love, will forever be a legacy where they are concerned. They were what HOPE is for many people who just needed help. And they did that with love. Jimmy Carter was always my favorite president but more importantly a friend.

I was newly married and in college when I read about Habitat for Humanity. It featured President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn Carter in the article. I was a new Christian and so inspired by his love of God, country, and his fellow man. I remember thinking that one day my husband and I would also volunteer with Habitat for Humanity. I joined Habitat in the Solano and Napa Counties of California and I am still inspired by President and Mrs. Carter's example, except now I am actually participating in something that is truly rewarding and benefiting to others. Thank you President and Mrs. Carter. If you were on trial for your Christian beliefs, sir there would be enough evidence to convict you. Well done good and faithful servant.

“President Carter was a treasured friend and inspiring role model who showed the world how to put faith into action. It was one of the great privileges of my life to spend time serving with him. He was a true and tireless champion of affordable housing, social justice and human rights, and while our hearts are heavy, we are grateful for the lasting impact and legacy of service he leaves behind.”— Jonathan Reckford, Habitat’s Chief Executive Officer

I never had the pleasure of meeting him personally, but for years I’ve known that I wanted to follow his example helping build Habitats for Humanity, 4 or 5 houses later, I haven’t regretted a minute.
Don’t think for a minute that you don’t have anything to offer. I’ve learned so much, and will continue for years, God willing.

Jimmy Carter was one of the most underrated Presidents of the US history. His gentleness and caring for the people he served was unparalleled. And he did it all without the trappings of the political aristocracy.

I lost my mom to Melanoma, and I was diagnosed with the disease 12 years ago. It's a terrifying disease - one with a pretty ugly outcome in most cases. I will never forget when President Carter was diagnosed. Watching him fight and win against it has given me hope. He was an incredible man and heaven just gained an amazing angel.

Former President Carter and First Lady Carter will be truly missed. I enjoyed working the Carter weekends with them. I got to see how loving and caring they are I am going to truly miss them.
