It takes more than a hammer: Advocate for a change. UGA Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit student organization dedicated to the ideal that all people deserve a simple, decent place to live on terms that they can afford to pay. Join us in fundraising, advocating, educating, and building. Clarke County has a 38% poverty rate which is the highest among all counties in Georgia and highest in the nat
ion for counties with populations over 100,000. One in four Clarke County children lives in poverty, and at least 30% percent of our housing stock is considered sub-par. There is a need. "Habitat for Humanity is a perpetual motion miracle: everyone who receives, gives - and everyone who gives, receives. If you want to live complacent and uninspired, stay away from Habitat; come close to Habitat and it will change you, and make you part of something that changes the world."
- Randall Wallace, screenwriter, Braveheart
