INTERNATIONAL WORK

With the help of people like you, Habitat for Humanity has provided safe, affordable housing to people in need all over the world for the past 50 years. And while Habitat Chicago works locally and autonomously, we are also part of an international mission, proudly supporting the work of our counterparts around the globe.

Habitat Malawi

Since 2012, Habitat Chicago and Habitat Malawi have been tithe partners. Located in the southeast region of Africa, Malawi faces a number of challenges, but the Habitat staff there focus on three, distinct initiatives to improve the circumstances and lives of its citizens.

The first program strives to enhance the resilience of households living in flood-prone areas by supporting and enabling them to have permanent, durable, and flood-resistant shelter. Second, they provide Housing Support Services to low-income people in partnership with housing microfinance institutions. Finally, Habitat Malawi provides fully subsidized homes for orphans and other vulnerable population groups.
