Habitat houses are special places for a special reason; they are built with love.  It is the love of volunteer partners who pick up hammers to help build the homes; it is the love of donor partners whose financial help makes these houses possible and affordable.

Houses built in love are houses where hope is also at home.  While hope, like love, cannot be touched, it can be seen in the tears of joy shed by a mother as her Habitat house is dedicated; in the bright, shining eyes of a youngster seeing his or her very own room for the first time; in the work-worn hands of a father carefully planting a tree in the yard of his new Habitat home.  Hope, cultivated in a loving house, will spread into other areas of a family's life as surely as that tree's branches will spread out over the yard in the coming years.

We have seen it happen.  We have seen homeowners return to school and end up with new confidence and far better jobs.  We learn of a turnaround in children's performance at school.  We see families so long robbed of hope believing again in themselves, in others, and in the future.

Throughout the world, Habitat for Humanity is working to eliminate poverty housing and, to date, has built houses providing shelter to more than 1 million people.  But that is just a start.  Your support today can help us accelerate the pace of building houses . . . and hope.
