In NSW, we've been working in partnership with a vulnerable women’s service that provides support and accommodation for women and their children who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, often due to domestic violence. With the help of our wonderful volunteers, we've been able to undertake painting and small repairs to make this accomodation space safe and secure for women and children in need.

Did you have a cup of water today or a tea or a coffee?☕ How is water 💧 important to your home and family life, your livelihood, your cultural practices, your wellbeing, your local environment?

780 million people living without access to clean water and 2.2 billion dont have access to sanitation and hygiene. We are working to tackle the global water crisis and support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030 through our international programs. In partnership with @DFAT #ancp 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. #PartnershipforRecovery

Since 1976, Habitat for Humanity has helped over 35 million people gain access to new or improved housing around the world. Through advocacy and training, Habitat helped an additional 9.9 million globally people gain the potential to improve their housing conditions last year.

To day is World Health day and we have an update from the field with our Habitat #ImpactStories | Improving housing and health is the aim of Habitat for Humanity. The village of Prek Trob, Cambodia, has seen health outcomes improve due to being part of a Habitat for Humanity housing and hygiene promotion activities in Cambodia, supported by @CommunitiesforCommunities. Illness caused by unhygienic practices has reduced by 23% in 2020 compared to 2019. The 3 year long project has been focusing on housing support and hygiene awareness-raising in the community and the local primary school. Chhonlai, a member of the community states, "Before the project started, there have been lots of people who were infected with disease because they lack access to hygiene and sanitation. I would like to say thank you to Habitat for Humanity for all the support.” This prohect is in partnership with @DFAT #ancp #parternshipsforrecovery.

Meet Rita | Habitat Partner Family Series | When the devastating earthquake hit Nepal in April 2015, Rita’s mud and brick house collapsed in less than a minute. Rita, who was only ten at the time, had to abandon her ancestral home and move with her parents and two siblings into a makeshift shelter of walls made of plastic sheets and a corrugated metal roof. Rita and her family lived in their one room shack for 4 years until they partnered with Habitat and Global Village volunteers to build a safe ne whom for Rita and her family to live in.

🚸 Habitat #ImpactStories | Hygiene Education begins at School: Teaching children about the importance of good hygiene practices is an effective way to influence positive changes in community behaviour. A remote primary school in Prek Trob village, Cambodia, has benefitted from Habitat for Humanity’s school engagement and education activists supported by @communitiesforcommunities . As a result of the education program, the teachers now see the benefit and importance of including hygiene and sanitation activities and have instituted them into their weekly teaching schedule. Mr.Sean Kean, School Director, believes the program helped support the students during the Covid 19 pandemic, "Because most of my students understood hygiene and handwashing… they did not feel the full impact of COVID 19.” In partnership with @dfat #ancp #partnershipsforrecovery 👍🏼

Meet Lucy | Volunteer Story Series | "The experience will shape you as a person, and the memories and emotions will stay with you for the rest of your life. I personally feel that this opportunity would benefit anyone, but I think that it was an incredibly important experience to have early in my life, as the way that it has changed my perception of the world and outlook on life is immense. Also, it is so much fun, and in addition to the hard yet rewarding work, Habitat ensures that you experience culture, food, people and local adventures – when I went to Cambodia the entire team spent an afternoon on the bamboo trains!"

🛠️This month marks 10 years since 100 Australian women travelled to build 10 homes ‘hand-in-hand’ with a community in Itahari, Nepal. 🏠 We reflect on the incredible difference they made in the lives of the women and their families. It is amazing what can come of a group of passionate women when they work together towards a worthy cause. This month we also celebrate the strength and resilience of these women, and all women in the Habitat family - donors, partners, beneficiaries, staff and volunteers.

Do you know what a Tippy Tap is? Find out it is he

Do you know what a Tippy Tap is? Find out it is helping families like Osea's access water. Today we raise awareness around the water crisis on #WorldWaterday 💧Sadly 780 million people don’t have access to safe water but at Habitat we are working with @Water for Women, the Australian Government @DFAT and Habitat for Humanity Fiji strengthen community resilience and inclusion through improved Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WaSH) services through 18 communities in Fiji through our Water for Women Project.

Water is under extreme threat not least of all from climate change. Pacific island countries contribute less than 0.03 percent of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions but are the most vulnerable to the worsening impacts of climate change. Impacts that are being felt first-hand in villages on the Fiji islands. Traditionally dry-spells in Fiji last from May to October but that is changing.

Osea Suka is one of our partner families who lives in Navitilevu village. Sadly, Osea and the other villagers now face water shortages from July through to December. “My wife always puts out containers and buckets whenever it rains and this is particularly useful for us also as our WaSH facilities are not nearby” says Osea, but with longer dry spells their water tanks are drying out more often and his family often struggle to wash hands after using the toilet.

Habitat Fiji completed a 3-day water, sanitation and hygiene training in the community members and the Community Health Worker Rasilivia Navo learnt about the benefits of a Tippy Tap.

Now through the use of Tippy Tap Osea and his family don’t have to travel long distance to wash their hands or access clean water. The Tippy Tap has become an easy and accessible contraption to help communities like Osea’s preserve and access water preventing water shortage and illness due to consuming dirty water or not washing hands. #DFAT #WaterforWomen #WorldWaterDay

We just loved this, thank you to our volunteer Phillip for creating this beautiful piece of artwork of your partner family and for supporting our cause. #repost @hicko_art "I did this portrait after a Habitat for Humanity school trip to Cambodia in 2019. The child is a girl named Sory who now lives in one of the houses we built. In the second image you can see a blue tarp tent behind the house. This was where Sory used to live with both her parents and two sisters.
.
Shout out to my past students who gave up their time and money to do something good in this world. I have a lot of respect for you."
