Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort and has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in more than 70 countries. In the Asia Pacific region since 1983, Habitat for Humanity has supported millions of people to build or improve a place they can call home. 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.
Habitat for Humanity Cambodia is part of Habitat for Humanity International and began operations in 2003. We work with diverse international and local nongovernmental organizations, microfinance institutions, corporate partners, and local and national authorities to build a better life through safe and affordable homes. Habitat Cambodia provides technical expertise, including safe and affordable house designs, water and sanitation programs, an innovative approach to housing combining market development, housing finance, support services; advocacy for secure land tenure; and pro-poor housing solutions. Habitat Cambodia takes a holistic approach with partners to help informal settlers gain access to secure terms under the local government’s social land concession scheme. Technical expertise is provided to microfinance institutions and low-income families by constructing good-quality and affordable homes.
Since 2003, Habitat for Humanity International in Cambodia has served more than 177,300 families to improve their living conditions through housing interventions, WASH facilities, community development programs, and partnerships with a diverse group of international and local non-governmental organizations, microfinance institutions, corporate partners, local and national authorities.
