Women Build is a program that leverages on the strength and capacity of women to help women by addressing the housing challenges that plagues millions of women and children, and promoting decent, affordable housing for all. We will be coming together to build homes for female-led families in Cambodia, China and Vietnam in the coming few months. Together we can make an impact on the lives of women in need and help them achieve strength and stability!

Paying It Forward – Sharing from Stevie Victoria Ying

Despite her busy role as a Divisional Manager at Li&Fung, Stevie keeps coming back to volunteer with Habitat as the build trip in Phuket last year was rewarding.

“I like the idea of giving back now that I’m able to. I’ve gotten a lot of help from different people at each stage of my life, I’d like to pay it forward.”

Themed "Solicitude", the FY2015 Annual Report neatly sums up Habitat Hong Kong's work of building homes and hope worldwide in the past financial year and how our volunteers demonstrated their earnest concern for people in need through their actions.

Nepal Earthquake - One Year On
A devastating magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck Nepal one year ago, causing massive deaths and house destruction. Habitat for Humanity has been helping earthquake-affected families to rebuild lives over the past year. Habitat distributed 5,142 temporary shelter kits. To date, Habitat has provided assistance to more than 43,700 families in Nepal through various disaster response programs. 

The First Female Mason in Her Village

Sharada Danuwar is 22 years old, and like nearly everyone else in her village of Pilpaltar, she lost her family home when the quakes one year ago. With the determination to turn loss into gain, this young lady made a decision in a hope of rebuilding life and break through the glass ceiling in her country.
