In South Australia last year we completed 196 Bushfire Recovery Days , assisted 147 property owners (with some owners having received assistance more than once), and engaged with 289 unique volunteers (many volunteers are regular/repeat volunteers). We are so grateful to the community to be able to provide this much needed support to bushfire affected families!

In South Australia, we were very lucky to be able

In South Australia, we were very lucky to be able to handover the keys to Von and her mum, only 4 days out from Christmas! It was a scaled back event due to COVID but no less memorable and exciting. We would like to thank all the volunteers who worked on this home and the Sponsors who supplied materials or labour!

Our urban water, sanitation and hygiene project in

Our urban water, sanitation and hygiene project in partnership with DFAT's #ANCP organized a COVID19 prevention (face mask) campaign at the Dala jetty and public market. Habitat Myanmar's partner YMCA Myanmar and township officials including the police led the event where about 17,500 masks and bottles of sanitizer were distributed. As we know COVID doesn't end for us until ends for all. #HabitatAustralia #DFAT #ANCP #PartnershipsForRecovery

#DidYouKNow we do more than build houses? We work

#DidYouKNow we do more than build houses? We work in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Myanmar, Fiji, Nepal and Vietnam supporting communities to access improved water and sanitation.This includes construction of new or improved water supply facilities such as wells, water tanks and water treatment systems, as well as sanitation facilities such as drainage, toilets/latrines and bathing/handwashing facilities. These types of physical interventions are delivered in conjunction with training for families, communities and schoolchildren aimed at changing behaviours for improved management of water resources and hygienic practices.

‘The reason I applied for a Habitat home is for

‘The reason I applied for a Habitat home is for hope. Hope is the reason…I needed to find it for my family. This is an opportunity that is lifechanging especially for my youngest son and his disability, this is an incredible blessing.’ Some words from Tracey, our partner family in Victoria who recently moved in to her new Habitat home. Did you know we build homes in Australia for families in need? Find out more on our website (link in bio!)

Habitat for Humanity has loads of programs all over Australia (and around the world) and is in need of volunteers across all of them. You can find and register for them via the link over at @habitataustralia . This isn’t a paid or sponsored post, just a great organisation and an awesome way anyone can get involved in helping those effected by the bushfires earlier this year.
We were meant to have 10 people today but only ended up with 3, so get out of the city and get amongst it.
(They even let me use power tools! #TradiePorter)"
