The process

Every Build Beyond project begins with a powerful idea, sparked by the lived experiences and aspirations of communities across Asia-Pacific. 

Learn more about how Build Beyond’s projects are designed and delivered.

Ideas

Habitat’s national offices collaborate with local communities and partners to identify pressing needs and propose project ideas aligned with Build Beyond’s goals and Habitat’s regional priorities.

Design

Our in-house specialists help national offices turn their project ideas into business-like proposals. High-quality projects are designed to deliver results within two years.

Project catalogue

Approved projects are added to Build Beyond’s online project catalogue. Each project seeks one corporate or institutional partner to co-fund its implementation.

Pitch

Short videos are produced to showcase each project, its intended impact and help raise co-funding from corporate partners.

Co-funding

Corporate partners provide up to 80% of a project’s budget. We brand each project with the logo of its co-funder. Results are attributable to that business or institution.

Delivery

Our teams support national offices throughout implementation to ensure projects stay on track to succeed. Regular progress reports and video updates are shared with co-funders.

Influence

Measurable results attract more funding to scale projects and achieve greater impact. Actionable knowledge is shared with practitioners around the world. Successes enable Habitat for Humanity and co-funders to positively influence the housing sector and inspire others to build even more.

    When you co-fund a project, you help transform lives. By building housing, we build beyond the physical homes: adequate living conditions have a powerful impact on the livelihoods, health, education and more of households and communities.
