Habitat for Humanity does a "little bit of good"

In response to patron Archbishop Desmond Tutu who said, "Do your little bit of good where you are - it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world," Habitat for Humanity's Desmond Tutu International Build Week is taking place in Pelican Park, Cape Town, from 2 to 6 March.

Teams from as far afield as the USA and Ireland will be joining the build event together with 18 of Habitat International's Board of Directors from across the 70 countries in which it operates as they have chosen Cape Town as the venue for its board meeting this year.

Funding provided by the event helps provide valuable funding for Habitat's social facilitation programme as part of Habitat's community development work in the Pelican Park project.

Through its social facilitation programme, in partnership with the communities and galvanising the support of active citizens and other stakeholder partners, communities are empowered to take ownership of their communities through leadership, skills development and self-belief to become the champions of their own developments and their communities.

"Our five-year goal through our community development process is to meaningfully transform the lives of at least 100,000 fellow South Africans living in communities across South Africa. Help us achieve this by joining our team build event, helping to build homes, communities and hope," said Adrienne Burke, Habitat's Marketing Manager.
