Ahead of the 2024 G7 Summit, Habitat for Humanity International released an issue brief, Slum Blind: The overlooked links between climate migration and informal settlements. The brief focuses on the more than 215 million people who could be impacted by climate migration by 2050.
Habitat for Humanity International CEO Jonathan Reckford issues this statement.
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.
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.
Some floods develop slowly, while others develop in just minutes. Being prepared and taking mitigation measures, such as building away from floodplains and elevating homes, can reduce the risk of damage and injuries in a flood.
Did you know that in addition building houses, Habitat for Humanity is advocating to change systems and policies to ensure U.S. families have access to decent, affordable homes?
