Habitat for Humanity India
Habitat for Humanity India’s vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Anchored by the conviction that safe and affordable housing provides a critical foundation for breaking the cycle of poverty, Habitat India works with low-income, marginalized families to build homes, provide housing-related services and raise awareness for adequate housing and sanitation.
The core area of Habitat’s work in India is:- Decent Shelter
- Wash (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
- Disaster Risk Reduction and Response
Established in 1983 in Khammam, Telangana, Habitat India serves over 33.6 million people across 26 states by building decent homes, sanitation facilities and providing relief during disasters.
Disaster Risk Reduction and Response: Natural disasters disrupt the lives of thousands of people in India every year. Through Habitat’s Disaster Risk Reduction and Response program, and with the help of volunteers, donors and local partners, we are able to provide relief intervention, shelter assistance, education, and permanent housing solutions to the affected individuals and families.
Pathways to permanence: Habitat believes that safe, reliable shelter provides the foundation from which post-disaster assistance can begin to re-emerge. Habitat’s Pathways to Permanence strategy enables individuals and families to take the necessary steps in taking back control of their lives following a tragedy through support for sanitation,
