Builders are very compassionate people.
They get excited about helping to build houses for families who, in their normal business, they don t build for. Unless you re one of the top five Giants, building 17,000 houses in a single year seems unattainable. And for a nonprofit organization, it s improbable. But Habitat for Humanity International has a track record of setting ambitious goals, achieving them, and raising the bar each successive year. We built 17,000 homes worldwide last year, and a little over 6000 in the United States, says president and founder Millard Fuller.
