Habitat for Humanity India

Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity India began in 1983 as a grassroots effort. The housing organisation has since grown to become a leading housing nonprofit that has helped over tens of thousands of families in India build or improve a place they can call home. Through its housing, WASH (Water,Sanitation, and Hygiene) and housing disaster resilience and response programmes, Habitat for Humanity India has positively impacted the lives of over 7.7 million people across the country. Through financial support, volunteering or adding a voice to support

affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Through shelter, we empower.
