Please support our #HomeTogetherFund today if you can by sharing this post to your story, donating, or simply telling your family at dinner tonight.

In building homes and resilient communities, we do

In building homes and resilient communities, we don’t want to leave anyone behind. This means that we have to pay special attention to those who are most vulnerable. In our Water for Women project in Fiji, we are working with @habitatforhumanityfiji to encourage the leadership of historically vulnerable groups. Over 5 years and in 50 communities we are engaging with women, girls, people with disabilities and from the LGBTQI+ community and ensuring they have technical roles in the management of water and sanitation of their community. These groups are redefining the future of their communities through their leadership and skills. Together with @dfat ‘s #ANCP @habitatforhumanityfiji we are able to support women in communities in Fiji.

In October last year, Sceggs Darlinghurst sent 53 students and 10 teachers to Siem Reap in Cambodia to help build 5 homes for vulnerable families in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Following the build, Sceggs produced a beautiful book full of photos and well wishes which were presented to the families, who stood proudly in front of their new homes. Here is what one of students shared: "I think this trip was so eye-opening and really helped expand my world and make me a more thoughtful, conscious person. #MYBUILDIARY #HLYB
