Resources
Why we work in Salima
Despite being famous for its Gule wa Mkulu dances, and rich cultural heritage, Salima has an extremely high housing need.
Many children living in Salima have been orphaned as a result of HIV and AIDS which has led to a large number of households being led by children who cannot afford to look after the home.
Housing poverty in Salima means that many of the people in the community live on less than $1 a day.
What will you do?
Expect early starts so that you can begin work before the sun is at it’s highest point. This means you will finish working a few hours before you have dinner. Typical Volunteer Activities include:
- Mixing and passing mortar
- Digging and laying foundations
- Laying bricks
- Plastering new walls

For me, it is so important to have a house that I can be proud to hand over to my children in the future. Fernando - Homeowner in Recife, Brazil
My life has fundamentally changed for the better because of HFH, as have the lives of people we have helped. Livi Warnes, Volunteer Team Leader
Meeting the family and working so closely with the community is nothing short of incredible. I could have spent another year or more with the community, they were all so welcoming. Jemma, volunteer in Kenya 2019

I borrowed them from a friend the second I saw them and was like yuppp need them for the picture haha. 😜 Okay, okay, now the news: My boyfriend and I are going to be doing a Habitat for Humanity build in a few weekends and I am so excited.

We loved seeing all the photos from last week’s Habitat for Humanity build that our agents participated in! We’re so thankful for our wonderful agents, as they’re always showing us the many ways they care for their community. Enjoy a sampling of pics from that special day!
🐊GHARIAL EXHIBIT BUILD🐊
New addition to the zoo! The Gharial exhibit. I’ve been slowly considering what animals to bring into Tropical Wild Lands (the name of the Zoo) so I can include a wide range of diverse animals and also maintain a good level of conservation. The Gharial was the perfect match for a new addition. The pathway through the middle is the perfect area to see the Gharial without disturbing them.
If you want to see me build the new habitats and areas of the zoo you can follow me on twitch (link in bio) and catch the live thought process and creation of these habitats! 💙
Oh hi! Didn’t see you there. Don’t mind me...just caulking some windows. Had a fabulous and chilly time at last weeks Habitat for Humanity Build with fellow Harry Norman agents. This is my third build and I continue to learn new tips and tricks! I highly encourage anyone who is able to attend a Habitat build through your work, school, church, etc. You will not be sorry. One of the biggest perks is meeting and working beside the homeowner. See Mike in the group shot waving his hand in the back! ❤️ Habitat lhomeowners must put in 250 man hours before they officially own their home (help out on their build, other builds, or do other work option from Habitat). They must also have good credit, be first time homeowners, have a savings account, attend new homeowner/finance classes, live in the home for 1 year as a tenant paying their rent consistently and THEN at the end of that one year, they are granted a zero interest 100% loan to purchase the home!!! This family of 5 (soon to be 6) is going to love their new home 🏡

Yesterday was truly an INCREDIBLE day. We had the opportunity to work alongside habitatgfw fwunited and the #fortwaynepolicedepartment to build lots of new walls all while breaking some others down. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and came out to show support! Thank you especially to brotherhoodmutual for your partnership and for providing food from Lewis Street Grill! And thank you thatlaundry for spending the day with us, whipping up an awesome mural!
