World Housing

World Housing World Housing gifts homes to families living without safe shelter around the world. World Housing homes allow people to live safe, stable lives.

World Housing is a non-profit that provides homes for families living in slums in the developing world, fostering communities where families can thrive with safety, security, and access to the resources that change lives. Our mission is to create social change by connecting the world to be a better community. World Housing believes that homes are the key turning point where the momentum of community begins to have effects that radiate beyond individuals and into entire families, villages, and countries. Children who grow up in safe, stable homes have greater freedom to pursue education, and raise the standard of living for themselves, their families and further generations to come. World Housing homes cause a ripple effect. As a non-profit, World Housing makes their projects possible through direct giving and business partnerships with individuals and organizations who believe in the power of community to change lives around the world.

FAQ Friday! Why is housing so important?

To many, lack of housing sounds less dire than food, water, and healthcare. And in the short term, this might be true. But we believe that safe housing is the first step towards long-term, sustainable change.

By giving families a roof overhead, several things happen:

🌡️ People are healthier, and don’t miss school or work for illness
💛 Stress levels lower, creating happier, more supportive neighbourhoods
🎒 Their belongings are safe, saving money long-term
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Families are able to focus on the things that matter

And by building infrastructure into every neighbourhood, including access to clean water, education, and food gardens, these communities begin to flourish.

Over a billion people around the world are struggling in some of the world’s harshest conditions. Children scavenge garbage to feed themselves, families live in slums without access to water or sanitation, and millions of people suffer from preventable diseases due to lack of healthcare and nutrition.

But the world always rises up to lend a hand.

Global charities work side by side with generous donors like you, providing short-term emergency aid and long-term infrastructure to support and uplift those who need it the most.

World Housing has helped give over 5,000 people a safe place to call home, in 9 different countries worldwide. And we’re just getting started. Visit our website today to make a donation, and help us build a home for everyone. 🏡🌍💛

Community isn’t just about homes. It’s about the way we lift each other up, and help each other thrive. 🏡

The Girls to Grannies Village in Cambodia is a community designed to give women and girls a safe place to live, while supporting one another through an innovative system.

Granny Rin and Rithy are a shining example of just how much people can flourish when we support one another. At 79 years old, Granny Rin welcomed 11-year-old Rithy into her home, as she has with 9 other vulnerable girls. Her incredible life experience has given her all the wisdom and generosity to foster girls in need, passing down knowledge and love as she nurtures them in a safe, stable home.

And in turn, Rithy studies hard and helps Granny Rin around the house, allowing them to flourish side by side. 💛🌸

FAQ Friday! Does World Housing build the same home everywhere?

No, we don’t! When it comes to a home, there’s no such thing as “one size fits all”. Every new community is designed in collaboration with our local partners, tailoring the homes to the specific needs of the region, its residents, and locally available materials.

This way, we make sure the homes are designed to withstand the local climate (from Cambodian monsoon season to Colombian heat), support traditional lifestyles and cultural needs.

The end result is a community designed for the families who will call it home, built for families to thrive now and long into the future.
