US/Habitat for Humanity Int'l
Change Edition

Habitat for Humanity seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.

Habitat for Humanity International is deeply saddened by the death of Jack Kemp. Kemp supported Habitat for Humanity’s work for more than a decade by serving on its international board of directors, chairing two capital campaigns, and helping to call attention to the need for affordable housing. His legacy lives on in the families who live in better conditions today because of his efforts.

During May 2-10, more than 7,000 women volunteers are taking the challenge to help eliminate poverty housing. Keep up with the progress from a few of the more than 200 Women Build worksites active this week.
