We want to help Habitat Invercargill Global Village team's dream become reality.

Southland

Bringing people together to build homes, communities and hope.

We travel in July to go to Fiji to build a home for a family in need using our platform of global village. Habitat for Humanity Invercargill’s activities in Fiji range from new house construction, to helping families rebuild after cyclones. Fiji has experienced rapid urban growth, with numbers swelling in the two largest cities, Lautoka City and Nadi. The number of people living in squatter settlements has also shown a sharp increase in recent years. This raises a huge need for appropriate housing for the people of Fiji.

For families who are determined to break out of poverty, the programme enables them to build a better future. For children, a new home offers a chance to grow and thrive in surroundings that are safe. A place to live where they are sheltered from bad weather, fall sick less, go to school more regularly, and get to enjoy childhood. For volunteers, it is the meaningful experience of building and interacting with Habitat partner families. Global Village promotes a sense of goodwill, seeing a fellow human have a decent place to live.

Habitat for Humanity are a fully inclusive charity that looks at individuals strengths not what they cannot achieve. Our global village team of 18 includes 6 youth, 2 disabilities. The team consists of 11 women and 7 men who need to raise fund for their journey. We really want to them to experience opportunities that they can learn from and also to be able to have a role and purpose in their lives. All money raised will go towards making sure their costs are covered for the trip. We will share our story on our website on completion of the project. We appreciate your support to help Habitat Invercargill Global Village team's dream become reality.
