Habitat for Humanity Ireland

Habitat for Humanity is an international non-profit organisation that aims to eliminate poverty housing by building simple, decent, affordable homes and by making decent housing a matter of conscience and action. Habitat for Humanity does not build houses for people; it builds with them. We work together with homeowners and volunteers to construct, renovate or refurbish homes, using donations of money, land and materials. Once completed, houses are sold to partner families at no profit, providing a hand up, rather than a hand out.

Habitat for Humanity Ireland supports the international efforts of Habitat for Humanity by sending teams of Irish volunteers overseas to help build homes through its Global Village programme. The Global Village programme has been in operation since 2004 and in that time has sent more than 1500 volunteers to over 20 different countries in Africa, Asia, South America and Eastern Europe. We also work here in Ireland and are currently partnering with Dublin City Council on the renovation project on Emmet Road, Inchicore, Dublin 8.
