Global Village

Since our founding, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati has supported our global mission. We commit to supporting four global partners through both volunteer labor and financial support: El Salvador, Cambodia, Nepal, and Kenya. We build and sustain our relationships with these tithe partners through regular volunteer trips through the Global Village Program. Global Village is a transformative weeklong volunteer experience organized by many Habitat organizations across the country. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati has opportunities both internationally and domestically and will typically lead two trips per year-- domestic in the fall and international in late winter. 

Tithe

Tithe is one of the hallmarks of Habitat for Humanity, based on our biblical roots as an ecumenical Christian ministry. Through the tithe, HFHGC joins other U.S. Habitat organizations in sharing 10% of our unrestricted contributions with our Habitat partners around the world. This practice has created a cycle of generosity and partnership that supports Habitat’s mission of eliminating poverty, housing, and homelessness worldwide. Since 1987, HFHGC has contributed over $5 million in tithe to Habitat national affiliates locally building homes in El Salvador, Cambodia, Nepal, and Kenya, serving 1,400+ international families.

The Global Village Experience

Teamwork

Global Village groups usually consist of up to 20 individuals (at least half are HFHGC staff) who are led by a team leader over 9 days to work alongside local communities.

 

Program Donation

Global Village volunteers contribute a donation of about $1,625-$2,700 per person that supports Habitat’s housing programs as well as their own on-site accommodations, meals and ground transportation.

 

Locally Driven

Local communities and Habitat collaboratively decide on project goals and solutions that address a specific local housing need.

 

Lasting Change

Projects are designed around larger Habitat initiatives, so the work does not stop when volunteers leave. Volunteers will also learn to advocate for international housing policy and interventions.
