Habitat for Humanity International is a non-profit, fairly ecumenical Christian housing ministry, which frequently provides rich opportunities to share the gospel. Founded in 1976 by Milard Fuller along with his wife Linda, HFHI seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, and make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.
Habitat invites people from all walks of life to work together in partnership to help build houses with families in need. Working in 100 countries around the world, Habitat has built more than 200,000 houses.
Through volunteer labour and donations from individuals, churches and businesses, Habitat builds and renovates homes with the help of homeowner (partner) families (many hours of work on site required of them), with no-interest loans paid through a 20-year mortgage, which then raises the next funds to build more homes.
