Resources
Building in the East
Nepal is a culturally diverse country made up of several ethnic groups and tribes that follow their own unique traditions.
Many people in the eastern region live in poorly built thatched houses. The lack of decent shelter endangers families access to education and their state of health.
Helping families upgrade their current housing situation provides a boost towards making other changes for the better.

I’m so much happier. It’s a huge improvement, I can bathe the children, I can wash up. There’s no comparison to how it was before. Sana - Habitat for Humanity beneficiary
Now my granddaughter can study more. She won't have to spend her time walking so far to fetch water for the home. Saline - Homeowner in Kenya
It was an emotional roller coaster - building relationships with all of the families and children was wonderful, as they were all so welcoming and friendly. Chris Endsor, dedicated volunteer

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 🏡

Components for the #habitatbuild keep piling up. Having all/most of the items early certainly helps determine positioning and spacing, but makes me very eager to get them in.

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!
Why do we build? Because children who live in homes with leaking roofs, broken windows, nonfunctioning heaters or stoves, peeling paint, exposed wiring or unsafe/unclean environments often experience greater emotional and behavioral problems. We believe it’s our duty to help people avoid living like that. #HabitatFacts
