Habitat for Humanity International has received a $429,000 grant from the Travelers Foundation, the charitable arm of Travelers, marking 17 years of funding.
It was 1942, and on the outskirts of the rural South Georgia town of Americus, a radical experiment began. Koinonia Farm was the culmination of the lifelong passions of farmer and biblical scholar Clarence Jordan. On that farm, among rows of pecan trees, after years of struggles caused by boycotts and persecution, the seeds for Habitat for Humanity were sown.

Alternative spring breaks allow students to travel, meet new people, and feel the satisfaction that comes from working to improve communities — and lives.
