Greater Albuquerque Habitat for Humanity

HabitatABQ.org

Greater Albuquerque Habitat for Humanity seeks to build lives as well as houses.  Through the houses we build, hope is restored and lives are changed as the cycle of need is broken.  How we build is just as important as what we build.  Habitat houses are built with a contribution of five hundred hours of “sweat equity”, labor on the part of the Partner Families.  By investing themselves in the building process, Partner Families gain self-reliance, self-esteem and new skills.  By investing time, money, materials, and their expertise, Habitat volunteers, donors, organizations, businesses and professional trades gain new relationships, which extend far beyond the immediate impact.  Habitat brings together people from all walks of life, with varied skills and economic backgrounds to achieve a common goal of service to others.
