Who We Are
Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort. The housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in more than 70 countries. In India since 1983, Habitat for Humanity has supported more than 38 million people by helping them build or improve a place they can call home, build improved sanitation units and provide humanitarian aid and disaster resilient shelter solutions in the aftermath of natural disasters.
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.

Raising Funds For
At Habitat for Humanity, we’re committed to doing everything we can to end India’s housing deficit. Our vision is to build a world where everyone has a decent place to live yet an estimated 1.6 billion people globally already live without adequate shelter. In India, more than 78 million people live in poor housing conditions.
Housing deficit persists and grows as a result of systemic inequity, which is made worse by stressors and shocks. Habitat India seeks to serve those who experience exclusion and vulnerability.
Habitat seeks to improve the adequacy, affordability, and sustainability of housing through interventions in the program areas of Habitability, Basic Services, Tenure Security and Affordability.
To maximize intended impact, Habitat uses an integrated and holistic approach, working across all spheres of the housing ecosystem: community, sector and societal. Habitat puts people at the center of its work and addresses systems that perpetuate inequity.
We work on 3 key programmatic areas: Housing, WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) and Disaster Risk Reduction and Response.
Funds raised through the Tata Mumbai Marathon will be used for our housing, WASH and disaster response programs across India. Your contributions are needed to ensure Habitat For Humanity India can impact the lives of people at the bottom of the pyramid. Every Rupee you donate makes a difference.
Fund Utilization in 2023
Total funds raised in 2023 - INR 3715368
| Project Name | IN23414 - Waterwheel distribution for the selected marginalized families |
| Amount Utilized (INR) | 499650 |
| Project Description | - An emerging threat to water quality is due to the use of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). These are chemicals that degrade very slowly and remain in the environment for years.
- Another concern is the fetching of water. Women and girl children fetch water for household use in rural areas. Often this keeps them from attending school or working at a job. The average distance that women and children walk for water is six kilometers (3.7 miles). Women carry heavy loads of water (about 20 litres) on their heads.
- On average, a rural woman walks more than 14,000 km a year just to fetch water. On average, the required total number of pots/buckets in a family is about 3 pots i.e. 30-45 liters (one pot of 10-15 liters per trip). |

| Beneficiary Description | Waterwheel distribution for the selected marginalized families. |
| Impact | - The water wheel does not only solve the problem of carrying a heavy load but also helps in reducing the number of trips required for the required household water needs. In one trip using a water wheel, a larger quantity of water (around 45 liters) is transported to the destination. It is an economical alternative that not only saves time and energy but also saves an individual from physical health hazards. |

| Project Name | IN23813 - Culver Max Entertainment Private Limited - Infrastructural Development in Schools |
| Amount Utilized (INR) | 2617750 |
| Project Description | Khed taluka is a subdivision near Pune city in the Pune district of the state of Maharashtra, India. It comprises about 191 villages. The
population of Khed is mostly composed of Schedule Tribe families who depend on agricultural activities for their livelihood. Although they
own land, they reside in small thatched houses with mud walls that are in dilapidated condition. The families living in the village work as
landless farm labourers or work on small patches of land they own. They earn an average daily income of around INR 166, which is
insufficient to meet even their basic needs. The living conditions of these farmers are inadequate, and they lack access to education and
healthcare.
It is a fact that having schools in good conditions is decisive for students to achieve the expected academic results. The conditions of the
schools directly impact the performance of the students. Good school infrastructure, with renewed spaces, makes it possible for children
and youths that live in remote areas to study and, in addition, tends to improve the attendance and interest of students and teachers in
learning. |

| Project Name | Stay at school |
| Amount Utilized (INR) | 597968 |
| Project Description | Every year, 23 million girls in India drop out of school after reaching puberty. Right after their first period, young girls from rural and urban communities struggle to maintain regular attendance at school due to problems that come with menstruation. Absence of toilets, lack of access to sanitary pads and lack of education on menstrual hygiene are the contributing reasons for this high rate of drop out. It is time to break free of shame and constraints attached to menstruation. When you campaign for Stay at School, you will help girls from less fortunate communities in India break free from constraints of menstruation and ensure uninterrupted learning at school by raising funds to: i. Provide access to health and hygiene kits consisting of sanitary pads, ii. Counseling on menstruation, and iii. Build gender segregated sanitation units Watch the Stay at School video – https://youtu.be/sPl2U4ENdbU |
