These Habitat for Humanity volunteers will travel to Nepal and build alongside President and Mrs. Carter in our annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project. Please support these team members by donating and sharing their stories.

Together, we can bring homes, community and hope to families in need in Nepal.

Help families in Memphis build strength, stability and independence

Despite Memphis’ rich history and culture, nearly 1 in 3 Memphis residents live below the poverty line, and about 1 in 10 Memphians have an income at 50 percent or below that level. 

Together we can make a difference! 

President and Mrs. Carter will join the people of Memphis and hundreds of volunteers to build and revitalize the Uptown neighborhood just north of Memphis’ historic downtown. Your generous support will ensure the success of this project.

About Habitat for Humanity 

Habitat for Humanity International’s vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Anchored by the conviction that housing provides a path out of poverty, since 1976 Habitat has helped more than 5 million people through home construction, rehabilitation and repairs and by increasing access to improved shelter through products and services. Habitat also advocates to improve access to decent and affordable shelter and offers a variety of housing support services that enable families with limited means to make needed improvements on their homes as their time and resources allow. As a nonprofit Christian housing organization, Habitat works in more than 70 countries and welcomes people of all races, religions and nationalities to partner in its mission.

About the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project:

Often referred to as Habitat for Humanity’s “most famous volunteers,” President and Mrs. Carter give a week of their time each year to help Habitat build, renovate or repair homes in order to shed light on the critical role decent housing plays in breaking the cycle of poverty. Throughout the last 31 Carter Work Projects, they have helped build, renovate or repair homes in 15 countries including the United States, Mexico, Canada, Hungary, South Africa, South Korea, India, the Philippines, Thailand, , China, Vietnam and Haiti.
