Through our comprehensive, community-led WASH strategies, Habitat has helped thousands of families improve their lives and livelihoods. See the impact of our work in just a few of the lives and communities we’ve touched.
Habitat for Humanity this week began distributing hotel vouchers to families fleeing the violence in Ukraine as we ramp up our efforts to reduce the vulnerability of refugees and meet their shelter needs in Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.
While Habitat already works in the Indian states of Maharashtra, Odisha and Tamil Nadu, this project would support the building of more proper sanitation units with toilets, water tanks and handwashing stations.
Access to safe and reliable water, sanitation and hygiene — called WASH — is an integral component of adequate housing. By connecting communities with our solutions, we help advance health outcomes, environmental conservation, women’s empowerment, economic growth and education.
We support policies that reduce vulnerabilities and help people adapt to climate-related hazards and threats.
This project will focus on helping build safe, decent housing for communities living in extreme poverty in the Indian states of Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Odisha and Tamil Nadu.
