Habitat for Humanity tithes to Guatemala. Everytime we build a house here in Iredell County, another house is built in Guatemala. To visit their website, click here.
Habitat for Humanity of Iredell County is a locally run affiliate of HFHI Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those in need at no profit and with no interest charged.
Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. Partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor- "sweat equity" - into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more houses.
Habitat for Humanity believes in putting faith into action. As the walls go up, so many invisible walls go down, and new hope is built in the heart of the community.
