Building the Beloved Community

By: Jonathan Reckford, CEO – Habitat for Humanity International and Margaret Kato, Retired Executive Director – Genesee County Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity is propelled by a vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. We devote ourselves to creating that world because we believe everyone — every single one of us, regardless of who we are or where we come from — deserves a decent life and deserves the opportunity for a better future.
 
Believing is not enough. And so we build.
 
We build houses — and through those houses, the strength, stability and self-reliance that families need in order to achieve a better life. That better life is our primary goal. And so when we build houses, we also build bridges between people of diverse backgrounds, we build paths to more connected communities, we build ways for all people to come together and share in the creation of a new world.
