Providing safe, decent and affordable housing for families in need. 26 years building homes & changing lives in SriLanka

Habitat for Humanity Sri Lanka is a Voluntary Social Services Organisation whose mission is to provide decent and affordable housing to people living in poor conditions. A decent and secure home provides the foundation for health, education and employment. Families partnering with Habitat for Humanity Sri Lanka receive the hand up they need to break the cycle of poverty, build a better life and create a sustainable future. Now at the conclusion of our 26th year of operations, we have helped 27,118 families make their housing dreams a reality. We thank our donors for their generous support.

Habitat for Humanity is an international nonprofit housing organisation which was founded in Georgia, United States in 1976. It is currently working in nearly 1,300 communities across the United States and in more than 70 countries around the world. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all.

At Habitat for Humanity, this is what unites us – the strong conviction that no matter who we are or where we come from, we all deserve to have a decent life. We deserve to feel strength and stability day after day. We deserve to know we have the power to take care of ourselves and build our own futures. With a little help, Habitat homeowners are able to achieve the strength and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves and their families.
Decent shelter is the platform on which a family lives out today’s realities and prepares for tomorrow’s transformations. Through shelter we empower.
