About us
Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort on a community farm in southern Georgia. The Christian housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S. and in more than 70 countries. Families and individuals in need of a hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. 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. To learn more, visit habitat.org.

Through participation in Habitat for Humanity India’s multi-year Project Nirmanshree initiative, 2,710 women in Maharashtra and Odisha improved their livelihoods and employment opportunities in housing-related trades. Funded by the European Union, Project Nirmanshree — a combination of Hindi and Sanskrit words that means "building women" — began in early January 2020 and was completed in December 2023. The initiative empowers marginalized women through construction and entrepreneurship development training, creating greater access to government services related to housing and advocacy work.
