Habitat for Humanity has been working in China since 2000. We have programs in Yunnan, Sichuan and Guangxi in the southwest as well as Guangdong in the south, and areas outside Shanghai. In Hong Kong and Shanghai, we work with improving the homes of vulnerable elderly citizens.

We work closely with local governments and partner organisations to provide decent, affordable housing for those in need. Most of our programmes adopt a microfinance model, creating opportunities for families to purchase their own homes, where ordinarily it wouldn’t be affordable. Most of our work is in rural areas and small towns. We aim to alleviate poverty with a particular focus on vulnerable populations, and those affected by natural disasters.
