“It’s easy to stay stuck, to be stuck in

some people inherit poverty. To think

  • utside of the scope of poverty is hard. So

when you have a hand up — what Habitat

  • ffers —that hand up turns out to be a

different kind of inheritance: hope.”

WHO ARE WE?

People in your community and all over the world partner with Habitat to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With our help, those homeowners achieve the independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.

WHAT DO WE DO?

SAFE - Houses are low-cost, but respect all standard health, environment and construction safety codes. DECENT – Habitat Trinidad-Tobago uses quality, locally-available material. Trained staff supervise all construction and train our volunteers. AFFORDABLE – Costs are contained by using volunteer labour, limiting house size, efficient building methods and no-profit financing.

WHO DO WE SERVE?

Families who often cannot get financial assistance for shelter from traditional institutions:

  • Earn $1,000 - $8,000 per month
  • Own land anywhere in Trinidad and Tobago or

have legal permission to build on the proposed site

  • Families without land tenure can benefit from

microfinancing and smaller shelter solutions

  • Mandatory sweat equity of 300 hours

WHY DO WE HELP?

A decent and affordable place to live can remove barriers to opportunity, success and health that might have been part of a family’s life for years, if not generations. By investing in the future of a family, we can directly influence improvements and empower change in their communities, schools and neighborhoods.
