The NGO identified 15 families who were previously living in vulnerable and inadequate housing conditions. Construction of these climate-resilient homes began in December 2023. The homes are uniquely designed and include a living room, kitchen, bedroom on the first floor, bathroom, toilet, and veranda.
The climate-resilient features of each home include natural ventilation, natural light, a solar rooftop, and a rainwater harvesting system. Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International, who personally handed over the keys to the families, said, “As we hand over these 15 climate-resilient homes, we are not just providing shelter; we are building a foundation for a more sustainable and secure future.
Habitat for Humanity is driven by the vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live, but today, we face an unprecedented global housing challenge compounded by an equally unprecedented climate crisis. The families we partner with are often among the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, facing severe weather events that can devastate their homes and lives.
We believe it is our responsibility to use our voice, experience, and influence to drive change within communities and the broader housing sector. Our goal is to ensure that the homes we build today contribute to a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient future for all.”
