Australians can support families to build homes
in many poor countries, including Cambodia, Fiji,
Vietnam, Bangladesh, Timor Leste, Solomon
Islands, Philippines and more.In Southern
Vietnam, families and children are so poor they
are forced to live on the stinking garbage dump
of Rach Gia. Children are born here, raised here
and work here, everyday they risk cuts and
injuries from rusted metal and dumped rubbish,
which can lead to tetanus and life-threatening
infections. Homes are made of plastic sheeting
and cardboard. Small children and babies are most
vulnerable. Habitat is building new homes for
these families

In Northern Vietnam, 750 families in the Red
River Delta provinces urgently need decent
houses, clean water and proper sanitation. Their
houses are falling down filthy, contaminated
water has lead to alarming rates of diarrhoea
among the children. Habitat aims to replicate our
experience in community building to give these
families security Disaster Response, Habitat
for Humanity has extensive experience in helping
families to rebuild their homes and their lives
after natural disasters. It is a long-term
process, which can take many yearsChina
Earthquake, Habitat for Humanity has committed to
raise 5 million for rebuilding programs in the
worst affected area, Szechuan province. Habitat
has existing projects in China to rebuild homes
following the earthquake that hit Yunnan last
year and the floods in Guangdong. Myanmar
(Burma) Cyclone, Habitat for Humanity is
exploring ways to help families recover from
Cyclone Nargis. Habitat is committed to helping
the citizens of Myanmar, more than 1 million
people are estimated to be homeless with several
villages destroyed entirely. Donations to
Habitat for Humanity are urgently needed to help
build simple decent homes and security for very
poor children and families. Your donation of 67,
88, 307, 2,302 or more, can help to pay for
doors, windows, toilets, even a whole
house!  Building Homes at Home Low-income
families in Australia can achieve the dream of
building and owning their very own safe, secure
homes through building partnerships with Habitat
for Humanity Australia. More than 70 homes have
been completed in VIC, NSW, QLD and SA, with a
further 40 family home projects progressing
throughout 2008. Each family receives a no
profit loan and volunteers help with planning and
construction. The family gives 500 hours
sweat-equity and repays the loan at low
interest their loan is then passed on to
another family. Donations are needed to help
build homes for low-income Australian families.
Its a gift that keeps revolving, transforming
the lives of families as they build futures for
their children.  How Can You Get Involved They
come from all over Australia, giving donations of
gifts, time and sweat to give families the chance
to build better lives - theyre our Habitat
Heroes.
