#HabitatYB 2015 5 Years In Raising Awareness on Global Housing Crisis

March 21, 2015 marks Habitat for Humanity Philippines’ 5th annual “Habitat Youth Build” (HYB). The campaign will be hosted in fifteen (15) different countries across the Asia-Pacific region, and will be held in ten (10) Habitat communities across the Philippines, bringing together thousands of youth volunteers to help build and repair homes, and more importantly, raise awareness of the global housing crisis.

The event pioneered by its Habitat Youth Council, wants to engage the youth to build and repair homes, drawing attention to the global housing crisis.

“Habitat Youth Build” will be hosted simultaneously in fifteen (15) countries across the Asia-Pacific, and in the
following ten (10) Habitat Philippines sites: Mindoro (the main event), Bohol, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, General Santos, Navotas City and Quezon City.

With over four (4) million Filipino families lacking access to decent shelter, this campaign aims to bring people
together to build homes, communities and hope – by raising funds, mobilizing volunteers and gathering supporters to be catalysts for poverty alleviation.
