About Habitat for Humanity
• Established in 1976, we work in more than 70
countries around the world.
• We provide disaster response support with
Emergency Shelters.
• We stay on after the initial disaster response
and build homes and communities.
• Our approach is proven to lift families and
communities out of poverty.
HOW IT WORKS
• We give a hand up, not a hand out. Whenever
possible we agree with families that they will
help build their homes with us.
• We treat our beneficiaries as partners. They
agree, where appropriate, to either pay back
a small loan, which then pays for another
person’s home, or they can help us build more
homes and pay back that way.
• This approach combined with helping people
start micro-businesses means people have the
respect of having built their home and are
putting funds back into the local economy.

THANKYOUFORYOURSUPPORT

2. Children are facing a terrible future, but you can
help Habitat for Humanity give another child
like nine-year old Azeb a clean, safe home. And
change a young life forever.
Thanks to Habitat for Humanity, Azeb now
attends school for the first time. When she comes
home she can sit on her clean bed and study to
achieve her dream of being a doctor. Electricity
means she can even study at night. Improving
cooking and living conditions also reduces the risk of respiratory illness and tuberculosis.
In her new house, Azeb’s risk of infection from diseases like
malaria has also been reduced thanks to secure windows and
treated mosquito nets. Secure flooring reduces the risk of cholera
from dirty water, which can no longer flow into the house. And
secure walls and floors mean rodents can’t bite and spread disease.
Providing clean, safe housing and sanitation transforms the future
of every family we help. It’s a long-term improvement that helps
prevent disease and improve life expectancy. Not only that, we
help children and families build a real future.

Why we have to build homes
Around the world there are more than 640 million children who
are homeless or living in slum housing.
Can you imagine what that is like?
Azeb and her family don’t have to, because until Habitat for Humanity built them a home,
this was their desperate, daily existence.
What a Habitat for Humanity
house means for a child
Homelessness and slum
housing affects hundreds of
millions of people worldwide,
damaging their health, leaving
them exposed to exploitation
and keeping them locked in a
vicious cycle of poverty.
Azeb, 9, in her family’s new Habitat
for Humanity House in Ethiopia
“I could never go to school before, now I do. I want to be a doctor. I have a house and garden
to play in, which I never had before.” Azeb.
The number is so high it’s almost difficult to
comprehend. But the reality for millions of
children and their families every day is a home
that has no access to clean water, sanitation or a
safe cooking area.
There is often no clean floor for children to play
on, just the soil beneath their feet, which they
then curl up and sleep on at night. Water and
raw sewage flows in when it rains, bringing life-
threatening diseases like cholera, whilst mice
and other vermin run wild and spread diseases
like typhus and the plague.
“We were not allowed to use latrines or the landlord’s clean water, we had to go the forest
instead. We had a small smoky room to cook, sleep and wash in. The floor was mud and some of
us always had to sleep on the ground. My children were always ill with flu.” Cherkos, Azeb’s father.
Leaking roofs leave children soaked through
and mosquitos fly directly into houses,
carrying life-threatening malaria. Poor
ventilation from indoor cooking fires is a
common cause of respiratory problems, while
the cramped living conditions increase the
spread of deadly respiratory illnesses like
tuberculosis and pneumonia.
Often, families are unable to lock a door, find
work or send their children to school. Many
children have to walk for hours just to find
dirty water.
Desperate living conditions in Ethiopia
“Habitat saved
us, especially
the children.”
Tigist,
Azeb’s mother.
We know that building homes does more than
put a roof over someone’s head. In clean,
decent, stable housing:
• Families can provide stability
for their children.
• A family’s sense of dignity and pride grow.
• Health, physical safety, and
security improve.
• Education and job prospects increase.
You can give the gift of a home
Across the world, Habitat for Humanity is helping to
construct decent, stable housing to give families a safe home
and a good life. And with your regular gift, you can help even
more families like Azeb’s step into a new life full of health,
hope and opportunity.
the shocking facts:
Over 10,000* children die every day
because they live in poor housing.
Every minute a child dies
from malaria in Africa.
500,000 children worldwide died from
tuberculosis in 2013.
120,000 children die each
year from cholera.
Studies in Malawi show a Habitat for
Humanity house reduces infection from
malaria and respiratory illness by 44%.
How your gift will help:
£10 per month, over the course of
a year, could concrete a floor,
enabling a family in Cambodia to take in
sewing work and improve their income.
£15 per month, over the course of
a year, can cover the cost of
doors and windows for a ‘child-led home’
in Lesotho, giving the children, who have
already lost their parents to HIV, the
safety and security they desperately need.
£20 per month, spread over a year,
could provide an entire family
in Bangladesh with a flood resistant
toilet, improving their health.
£150 per month, spread over a year,
can house a family in Ethiopia.
*World Health Organization
Sanitation, water and hygiene related
diseases claim more than 3.4 million
lives worldwide each year. Azeb’s family
now have their own clean water supply,
which they never had before.
