The Hopebuilders Campaign

The Morales family from Honduras. "We're happy with our home and thankful to Habitat for the opportunity to build with them."

Habitat for Humanity's new HopeBuilders campaign is a way of working together to nail poverty housing brick by brick. It's about doing something in your own community that will have a life-changing effect in a community somewhere else around the world.

We're asking you to become a HopeBuilder by stepping up to the challenge of donating or raising just £1235 to build hope by building a family a home.

Why £1235? Because that's the average cost of all the materials and labour (most of which is done voluntarily by the new homepartner family and others) needed to build a typical Habitat house in the developing world. You can of course raise funds to build more than one house! And you can do it in a variety of ways, such as making a regular personal donation, fundraising or leaving a legacy.

As a registered HopeBuilder, you can choose one of four regions you would like your money to support:*

Africa and the Middle East
Asia and the Pacific
Europe and Central Asia
Latin America and the Caribbean

Discover more about where we build on the Habitat for Humanity website.

You also have the opportunity to go as a volunteer and build alongside a homepartner family in a number of countries at extra cost – find out more in the volunteering section on our main website.

* Please note: All HopeBuilders income (over and above the cost of promoting and managing the campaign) goes towards building homes for families in need. Whilst you can choose a destination for your HopeBuilders gifts it may sometimes be necessary (e.g. at times of natural disaster) to divert the money to where the need is greatest.
