Thank you all for an incredible outcome for these fundraising efforts! So much love and support. Fundraising through the habitat site has closed and I have made my final payment, so any donations here on out can be made directly to myself if you would still like to contribute!

Cheers to Habitat for Humanity Jordan, and I will continue to share information as we are given it about our local community!

About Me

Every year I make it a goal to go on a trip that gives back. An adventure to meet new people, learn about another culture, and provide a family with a safe place to call home. In 2017 I am traveling to Jordan to do exactly this. Please help me support Habitats mission by making a tax deductable donation that will put a roof over people who truly need it the most.

More Info

With 80 percent of its population currently living in cities — 63 percent in Amman, Zarqa and Irbid alone — Jordan is faced with an urban housing crisis. Continued migration into the cities, combined with an influx of refugees from neighboring countries and the high level of urban poverty, have left many families without adequate shelter. These families are struggling with unsanitary conditions and social alienation. Inadequate housing fosters a sense of helplessness and marginalization among the poor, most of whom believe they are powerless to improve their living conditions.

Habitat for Humanity Jordan operates in 11 communities, bringing opportunities for families to lead safe, healthy and productive lives. A typical Habitat house in Jordan averages 590 square feet and is made of concrete blocks. The houses represent opportunities to build relationships across cultures, religions and classes, which consequently builds peace in the country.

Global Village is Habitat for Humanity’s international volunteer program. Teams travel to over 40 countries to work alongside communities, build housing solutions, and experience local culture. Our goal is to change the lives of the people we serve, as well as the lives of the volunteers.

About Habitat for Humanity International 

Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort on a community farm in southern Georgia. The housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in more than 1,300 communities throughout the U.S. and in more than 70 countries. Families and individuals in need of a hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Through financial support, volunteering or adding a voice to support affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Through shelter, we empower. To learn more, visit habitat.org.
