Habitat for Humanity and the Inter-American Cement Federation (FICEM) have launched the initiative “100,000 floors to play on,” with the objective of replacing 100,000 dirt floors with concrete among Latin America and the Caribbean’s most vulnerable populations by 2028. Depending on the needs of each household, the project will also offer solutions such as access to water and improved stoves, in order to build a healthy and dignified environment for families’ sustainable and inclusive development.

Hábitat para la Humanidad y la Federación Interamericana del Cemento (FICEM), lanzan la iniciativa “100 mil pisos para jugar” para reemplazar 100 mil pisos de tierra por concreto en viviendas vulnerables en todo América Latina y el Caribe al 2028. A su vez, de acuerdo con la necesidad de cada hogar, se brindarán soluciones para el acceso a agua y/o cocinas mejoradas, con el fin de generar un entorno digno y saludable para el desarrollo sostenible e inclusivo de las familias.

Resilience. This word defined Habitat for Humanity in 2021. During this year, as an organization, we had to be more resilient than ever. Understanding that the pandemic was going to stay longer than projected and, therefore, we had to adjust.

Supporting national partners – At Home, Carrier, Rocket Mortgage and U.S. Bank Foundation – join to help raise awareness and support.

Hábitat para la Humanidad brindó acceso para construir o mejorar viviendas a más de 1,4 millones de personas en América Latina y el Caribe durante el año fiscal 2021. Así lo confirma la organización en su Memoria Anual 2021 (1 de julio de 2020 al 30 de junio de 2021), la cual resume su trabajo en medio de la pandemia.

State Farm has sponsored Habitat’s youth programs across the country, including Habitat chapters on high school and college campuses and Habitat young professional programs since 2007.
