Habitat for Humanity joins the world in mourning the death of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. A champion for affordable and decent housing, he and Rosalynn Carter donated their time and leadership each year to build and improve homes with Habitat around the world.
Former President Jimmy Carter served others his whole life, and we’ve been honored that this incredible passion led him to partner with Habitat for over 30 years. President Carter shared with us what inspired him to pursue a lifetime of helping others – a mission that has changed thousands of lives.
We invite you to join us in remembering President Carter’s remarkable legacy. Share how you’ve been inspired by President Carter’s life and service and read others’ stories in our memory book.
