Habitat volunteers serve the mission in many ways, like Mulenga Muleba, board chairperson for Habitat Zambia.
Since 2019, Mulenga has successfully led efforts to increase funding, recruit new partners, strengthen collaboration across sectors and introduce innovative housing solutions.

“We are living in turbulent times, and turbulent times require different strategies. As board members, we’ve agreed to step up and lead the charge. We must be courageous and systematic in building partnerships.”— Mulenga Muleba, board chairperson for Habitat Zambia.
Mulenga has seen firsthand the impact of Habitat’s work. He once visited a mother of four at her new home in Makululu, one of the country’s largest informal settlements. Here, families have partnered with Habitat to build more than 300 homes, and women are building financial literacy through over 500 training groups. “She told me, ‘I am so proud I can now polish the floors of my house,’” Mulenga says. “That house gave her security and dignity and hope for her children. Those are the moments that remind me why we do this work.”
Among many initiatives, Mulenga has pushed for indoor toilets in new home designs and is working to bring solar power to communities. “When my tenure is up at the board, I want to have laid the foundation for increased funding and sustainable impact,” he says. “After all, once a volunteer with Habitat, always a volunteer with Habitat.”
Volunteers like Mulenga are key to what we do. When people step forward to give their time, leadership and energy, more families can build safer, stronger futures.

After being approved to expand our geographical service area to include Dillon County, SC, work is ongoing on our very first home build in the town of Lake View, SC. The exterior work is approximately 85% complete, while the interior work (drywall, painting, interior trim, etc.) remains. Our affiliate schedules host churches to house our student groups. The host church will provide breakfast options for your group. Having been involved in Collegiate Challenge since 1996, our office has built a strong partnership with local businesses, churches, civic groups, and individuals to provide all other meals for your group during the week. The weekly work schedule starts at 8:00 AM each day and ends around 4:30 PM. There will be a 24’ portable enclosed trailer set up at your host location for bathing. The trailer has 6 individual shower stalls (3 for males and 3 for females). There are also a washer and dryer located in the rear of the trailer that can assist your group with any clothing needing to be cleaned. We offer Wednesday afternoon off for our groups to visit our local attractions and get some rest in relaxation while in SC. Most groups have chosen to spend the afternoon and evening in Myrtle Beach which is approximately 45 miles from Marion County.
