Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity Philippines is a non-profit organization that serves Filipino families in need of decent homes. Habitat brings together partners who share the same vision of transforming lives through building responsible and sustainable communities. Established in 1988, Habitat for Humanity Philippines is a country affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International based in Georgia, USA.

For 25 years, Habitat has served over 60,000 families throughout the country and envisions that every Filipino family has a decent place to live.

With a housing backlog of 3.75 million families, there are several Filipinos living in deplorable conditions—dwelling in sub-standard housing and struggling to survive each day with only a meal or none at all.

Hope starts inside a home. Proper shelter saves lives.

Without decent home, children live in unhealthy conditions that affect their learning capabilities and curb their opportunities for development. This is manifested by the poverty landscape that 28.6 % of Filipino children below five years old are under-nourished. Performance in education also becomes poor with only six students for every 100 grade one pupils that could finish college.

A home rekindles hope and provides stability among families and communities. In decent housing, the walls are strong and the roof is secure—and the family inside focuses more on thriving than on surviving.

How to become a volunteer

More than 15,000 volunteers per year contribute almost 80,000 hours of their time and talent to Habitat for Humanity Philippines. Your volunteer action support helps Habitat build safe, decent and affordable homes for Filipino families living in need.

Whether an individual, corporate team, community group, a small group of friends, with skilled experience or not, there are many different ways for people to volunteer in the construction site or/and in the Habitat office.

Volunteers need to fill up a volunteer waiver form and submit at the site on the scheduled date of volunteering.

Here are options for group volunteering:
1. Juan Builds
Each Juan is the answer to our country. Each Juan holds the future of the Filipino people. Each Juan can make the difference. Habitat for Humanity invites each Juan to be the difference they want to see in our country by volunteering to create the change. Juan Builds combine teambuilding and corporate social responsibility or outreach. Through Juan Builds, each Juan can do it.
2. Global Village
Habitat for Humanity invites teams from around the globe to work alongside families in need of decent homes and learn the Filipino culture. Team members not only raise funds for their trip but also raise funds to donate to build homes. We encourage everyone to invite their families and friends from other countries to take part on our building efforts and make a difference.
