HFH Malawi serves as a leading voice in growing awareness of housing as a critical foundation for breaking the cycle of poverty by mobilizing volunteers as hearts, hands, and voices for the cause of adequate and affordable housing. Volunteers have the privilege to be part of the ongoing program of work, which has a clearer vision to achieve long-term, sustainable development and build capacity of a community, as opposed to dependency.
Habitat Malawi is thrilled to welcome Global Village volunteers from around the world, following a hiatus in 2020 due to COVID-19. During the pandemic, we stayed connected with our volunteers through virtual builds, allowing them to watch our construction work online. Since reopening in FY2024, we have welcomed 135 Global Village volunteers from the Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Together, we have built 17 houses with families.
