able to find a wide selection of tiles for a
kitchen backsplash, or bathroom vanity.

Volunteers provide most of the
labor, and individual and corporate donors
provide money and materials to build Habitat
houses. Partner families themselves invest
hundreds of hours of labor - 'sweat equity' -
into building their homes and the homes of
others. Their mortgage payments go into a
revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to
build more houses.
