The results of Habitat's effort are more than the sum of nails, paint and bricks.
An adequate environment fundamentally changes the foundation of a family. It builds stronger families, improved health and proper environments for children to study and grow. The end result often leads to families gaining new employment opportunities.
Research shows strong links between housing and physical health, mental health, educational achievements and lower crime rates. Improved housing positively impacts all these factors within a family’s life. These outcomes benefit not only the family but the wider community, the economy, and society as a whole. Addressing the housing issue is more than an act of charity, it is an investment in the future of our society.
