Habitat for Humanity Philippines is a non-profit, Christian housing ministry that works both to eliminate poverty and to make adequate housing a matter of conscience and action. Its vision is to create a world where everyone has a decent place to live. In the Philippines, the first local affiliates of Habitat for Humanity International were established in 1988. Today, Habitat for Humanity Philippines has built more than 24,000 houses nationwide, with 15 affiliates, 6 local management councils (LMCs) and 2 project coordinating councils (PCCs). Habitat for Humanity provides decent, affordable housing for low-income families.
