Habitat for Humanity International is a non-profit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry . Founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller, HFHI seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.

Habitat works with people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need.

Habitat has built, repaired and renovated more than 200,000 houses, providing one million people in more than 3,000 communities with safe, decent, affordable shelter.

Habitatās headquarters , located in Americus, Georgia, USA, provides information, training and a variety of other support services to Habitat offices and affiliates worldwide.
