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

This is the dramatic entrance to Raven Hall, home of the Corvidae. A site currently in creation, this hall is the centre point for the whole development.
It will be a home for many limestone plants and the wildlife associated with them.

I got the honor last night to attend the Habitat for Humanity home dedication for the sweet Colson family. What a blessing to share their joy when they officially became homeowners and had keys in hand. It was even more special because my NSMS girlfriends and I helped lay the flooring you see in the picture. We had a blast that day as Jimmy and Beverly supervised our every move. Seeing the whole house finished and the excitement in Jimmy and Beverly’s faces made my eyes overflow a little. If you haven’t volunteered in a Habitat build before, just do it. It’s a beautiful way to serve others, build community and change lives. The Colson’s lives have certainly been changed and our lives are all the more richer from having met them as well. #habitat #habitatforhumanity #habitatbuild #enrichedlives #newfriends #servicetoothers #buildcommunity #cometogether #strongertogether #pickupthehammer #volunteer #enrichment #shesaspitfire #hehumbleandquiet #tellitlikeitis #homededication #filledwithlove #builtwithlove #jesushands #changinglives #onehomeatatime #dontknowhowbuticanlearn #puttinginthework #sharemytime #letspaint #layingflooring #laboroflove #sweatandtears #shebrokeherknuckle #itsallgoodnow
We are aware of all that has been given to us, in this lifetime, in the past few years, months, days and so it’s hard not to be humbled, and pleased to give back. It’s said that generosity begins in your heart and then spills out in your behavior. That what you pour out is poured right back into you... we couldn’t agree more. #habitatbuild #nixtann #lovewhereyoulive #womenbuild 6019827918
