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.
Since 1998, Habitat has implemented disaster resilience and recovery projects in vulnerable communities around the world. Our shelter catalogues showcase our work through collections of case studies and lessons learned.
