Building in South Africa with Habitat for Humanity
For more than 25 years, the partnership among the construction industry, churches, community groups, corporations, individuals, aspiring homeowners and Habitat for Humanity International has done a remarkable job of helping many to achieve this goal.
One of the highlights of HFHI’s illustrious history has been the Jimmy Carter Work Project, held annually since 1984. JCWP began in 1984 when former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, traveled to New York City to participate in reconstructing apartments with homeowners and other HFHI volunteers. A resounding success, JCWP became an annual event with building sites all over the United States and numerous other countries across the globe.
