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 sister affiliate in Malawi.

Habitat for Humanity Malawi

Since 2012, Habitat Chicago and Habitat Malawi have been sister affiliates. Located in the southeast region of Africa, Malawi faces a number of quality-of-life challenges, so we send monthly support—also called a "tithe"—to Habitat Malawi to support their programs and initiatives in their communities. Habitat Malawi focuses on three main initiatives:

• Support households in flood-prone areas by providing permanent, durable, and flood-resistant shelters.
• Provide housing support services to low-income people in partnership with housing microfinance institutions. 
• Provides fully subsidized homes for orphans and other vulnerable population groups.
