Lloyd's Charities Trust and Habitat for Humanity Great Britain

Lloyd's Charities Trust are delighted to be supporting the work of Habitat for Humanity Great Britain. 

As a humanitarian organisation focused on long-term development, aid and poverty alleviation, Habitat for Humanity's mission is to build a safe environment where families and communities can thrive.

Habitat for Humanity GB and their vision

One in five people across the world live in slums and substandard housing, locking them into a grinding cycle of poverty. This lack of housing negatively affects their health and well-being, educational prospects, and ability to make a living.

Habitat for Humanity’s vision is a world where everyone has a safe place to call home. They  believe that a decent home helps to permanently break the cycle of poverty and allows families to achieve strength, stability, and self-reliance.

They believe decent homes are the heartbeat of strong communities and so we also fight for land rights for women, upgrade urban slums and informal settlements, improve access to water and sanitation, and help communities become more resilient in the face of natural disasters.

Working in nearly 70 countries, They support the most marginalised and vulnerable in society, and welcome people of all religions and none to partner in their life-changing work. By working hand in hand with communities, since 1976 they have provided over 1 million homes and helped over 6.8 million people.
