Lives can change in an instant. A baby is born, an illness strikes, a friendship is made – every change can have life-long consequences. At Habitat for Humanity Australia, our work changes the lives of people in Australia and the Asia Pacific forever. We know that a home with a safe water supply and sanitation means babies live healthier lives, children go to school regularly, families have a place to start a business and people build strong friendships within their community.

To achieve such changes, Habitat for Humanity Australia staff work hard to design and implement complex programs that deliver life-changing outcomes for communities. We work alongside families who have a dream of making a better life for themselves

and their children, and we learn valuable lessons from them and the challenges they face daily.

The need for our programs is clearly evident in communities in South-East Asia, but it is sometimes less obvious in Australia, where many face a future of housing stress and poverty. I was recently privileged to attend the launch of a major new Habitat for Humanity project in South Australia where local long-term unemployed young people are learning new skills and gaining qualifications in construction. The practical experience gained while building and renovating Habitat homes in their own community will change the lives of 400 people. Two young people have since gained paid employment outside the project – again helping to change their lives.

Thank you to all our partners around Australia and the Asia-Pacific who share our vision of a world where everyone has a safe and secure home, in particular QBE LMI, Habitat for Humanity Australia’s long-standing foundation partner.

In reflecting on the past year I am again astounded at how much we have achieved. Our previous CEO Jo Brennan transformed our organisation over three years and left

us well placed to grow and give a hand up to more families. As Jo leaves us for even bigger challenges, we thank her sincerely for her leadership and are delighted she will continue to support us in the future.

We will soon welcome our new CEO who will take Habitat to the next step and lead our dedicated team. It is thanks to our team’s dedication and commitment that this year we have reached significant milestones. The most notable is achievement of full accreditation with AusAID – a strong and valuable partnership for the future enabling us to invest government funds in critical programs overseas.

Finally, I would like to thank Habitat for Humanity Australia’s Directors who make a substantial contribution in committing time, making donations and covering personal expenses both interstate and also when joining our building programs in Australia and overseas.

Chris Franks, Chair of Habitat for Humanity Australia

Chair’s report


Chief Executive Officer’s reportThis was another inspiring year at Habitat for Humanity Australia. I have been privileged to visit our projects, meet our home partners and roll my sleeves up to help build homes on-site and see again just what a life-changing difference your support makes.

By working closely with our local partners our team ensure that the community is involved from the start and homes are built with the effort and enthusiasm of local builders and Global Village volunteers. Our families experience the joy of being given ‘a hand up’ and the security of a place to call their own where their family can thrive and grow.

One of our great joys is our Global Village program which allows us to take you, our supporters, on-site to see firsthand how your donations are spent. This year I was fortunate to travel to Cambodia with our inspiring Ambassador and media personality Angela Catterns. Angela and her daughter joined other volunteers to lay bricks, mix cement and paint homes. It’s hot and hard work but immensely satisfying. On our last day we were all incredibly moved as we watched Von Njor cut a red ribbon to enter her new home starting a new, secure and healthy future.

Our second Homes for Hope Gala Dinner was held in Sydney in May and generously hosted by Angela Catterns. The evening was a sell-out success with 220 supporters donating more than $130, 000 through ticket sales, auctions and raffles. My sincere thanks to all who joined us and supported the evening.

I am delighted to report that Habitat for Humanity Australia has finished the year in a strong financial position and is well placed for the new financial year. New Federal Government funding has enabled us to significantly increase our programs

and support from our Australian donors has increased by more than $200,000 – thank you. We have also continued to drive down expense costs through numerous innovations implemented by our dedicated and talented team.

There are many people and companies to thank for their willingness to share our vision of a world where everyone has a safe and secure place to live who are listed on page 16. A very sincere thanks to our Foundation Partner QBE LMI who shares our vision for home ownership and have given us generous and ongoing support over eleven years. QBE LMI sends enthusiastic teams to build homes across Australia and overseas with generous support from new CEO Jenny Boddington and her predecessor Ian Graham.

Thanks also to our Habitat for Humanity Affiliates who build safe secure homes for Australians who lack a home to call their own.

I would also like to thank our Board of Directors. They are a critical part of our team and contribute significant time and effort at no cost, helping to shape our organisation.

It’s been my enormous privilege to lead HFHA for the last three years. Each day I’ve been humbled and inspired by our home partners, the energy of our team and your generosity. Thank you – it’s your donations, support and enthusiasm that enables Habitat to keep on building homes and changing lives across the globe every day.

Sincerely

Jo Brennan


Jo Brennan left Habitat for Humanity Australia in August 2012 after three dynamic years transforming our organisation. Jo drove significant change and improvements. This culminated in the organisation achieving full AusAID accreditation. Thanks to this recognition of Habitat for Humanity’s high levels of professionalism and skill we will receive increased Federal Government funding and be able to assist significantly more families and communities across the region.

The Board thank Jo sincerely and recognise her considerable contribution, which has helped change the lives of thousands of people in Australia and overseas. We wish her well in her future career.

Investing in changing lives

Meet our donorsPaul and Aileen Munn have been supporting Habitat since 2007. They learnt about Habitat’s work when they purchased land for 21 families at Oudong, north of Phnom Penh in Cambodia, and were looking for someone to partner with to build the homes.

Based in Adelaide, the Munns run a small business. They use some of the profits to fund projects in Cambodia. This year they have built ten homes for families living with HIV and have provided funding to support emergency relief kits for people in Cambodia who lost their homes due to flooding.

“We support Habitat for Humanity Australia because its passion is in line with ours. Everything Habitat stands for, we stand for. We want to support the marginalised and the poor, and give them hope and dignity.”

– Paul and Aileen Munn, donors since 2007

Our HopeBuildersHabitat for Humanity Australia HopeBuilders are a very special group of committed supporters who pledge their support by making a monthly gift, giving Habitat the ongoing income needed to commit to more long-term projects. Last financial year, HopeBuilders together raised enough money to build approximately 38 homes in the Asia-Pacific region – that’s three every month. This is based on the average price of a home costing $2,100 throughout the Asia Pacific.

“The reason I became a HopeBuilder is because I have faith in the Hands and Hearts project and didn’t want to stop with one trip to Cambodia. It is clear to me how the monthly amount will directly help build the remaining homes. I trust Habitat for Humanity Australia to manage my funds and I feel connected to the recipients of future homes.”

– Christine Poole, HopeBuilder, and Hands and Hearts Build volunteer

“I realise that donating monthly makes the planning of future projects more sustainable. Every child should have a safe and secure home – a place to eat, rest, study – to be part of a family.”

– Mavis Blackie, Habitat for Humanity Australia HopeBuilder and High Tea for Habitat host

Legacy BuildersA core group of Habitat for Humanity supporters – our ‘Legacy Builders’ – have chosen to leave a bequest to Habitat for Humanity Australia. They have the peace of mind that they are doing something important and meaningful for others through their Will. Legacy Builders decide where their money goes and how their legacy will be used. Take it from one of our amazing supporters:

“Although I’m relatively young, I’m reassured knowing that if I was to go suddenly, my passing will also bring hope to others as a result of my bequest to Habitat for Humanity and enable others to dream dreams of a better future.”

– Andrew Hii, aged 33 , Habitat Legacy Builder



“Throughout its 11 year association with Habitat for Humanity Australia, QBE LMI has witnessed firsthand the work Habitat does in the community. To have the opportunity through various builds to meet the families who receive a Habitat home is rewarding in itself. Of particular note is the ambitious Yea project in Victoria, which will positively affect 25 families and QBE LMI is assisting with volunteer labour through its staff and customers.”– Warren O’Rourke, National Marketing Manager - Speciality & Corporate Communications, QBE Australia

Taking action to change lives

401 Global Village volunteers

15,648 Global Village volunteer hours


The Global Village ExperienceGlobal Village is Habitat for Humanity’s international volunteering program, which provides opportunities for individuals and groups to become active partners with overseas communities in need. Last year, 401 Australian volunteers came together as teams and travelled with Global Village to Argentina, Cambodia, Fiji, Mongolia, Nepal, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. In addition to building homes alongside families in need, volunteers constructed toilets and wells, and laid floors.In 2011, Global Village expanded its program to include ‘Special Event Builds’, which means that one ‘Special Event Build’ funds an entire project. The builds are devised, implemented and monitored by Habitat for Humanity Australia in partnership with Habitat for Humanity’s office in the host country. ‘Special Event Builds’ are designed to guarantee funding to Habitat Australia projects and give volunteers and supporters the opportunity to see Habitat’s work in the field.

“My first Global Village trip was in Fiji. It was one of the most rewarding things I’ve done. Since then I’ve made it a goal to volunteer once a year and to encourage others around me to do so too. I come home from each build feeling incredibly fulfilled and enriched by the people I worked with and met along the way.” – Pauline Kanhalikham, Nine Dragons Build volunteer


Hands and Hearts Build, Phnom Penh, CambodiaIn March 2012, 27 volunteers travelled to Phnom Penh to build four homes as part of the Hearts and Hands build. The project will provide at least 140 families and vulnerable children with safe and decent homes, access to safe water and sanitation facilities, help develop income generation skills and work with community health mobilisers to provide psychosocial support.

Profile of an Australian volunteerTony Bryer has been volunteering with Habitat for Humanity Victoria ever since a stand at the Home Show caught his attention. To date he has helped build two homes at Wyndham Vale, attended Brush with Kindness projects, worked in the Habitat ReStore, helped supervise corporate build days and is now working on the construction of homes alongside families affected by the bushfires at the Yea Heights Estate. Tony believes that volunteers need to look around for what they enjoy rather than ‘putting on a pair of boots that doesn’t fit’.

The best aspect of volunteering for Tony is the hands-on building. “It’s such a good antidote to sitting behind a desk looking at a computer screen to be out in the fresh air doing something physical. What one learns from meeting other volunteers and the people we’re helping, like those who were affected by the bushfires, is a real eye-opener for someone who lives in the heart of the city.”


“The Hands and Hearts Build in Cambodia was one of the most rewarding things I have done in my life. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do and it’s something that I probably would have put off doing with a busy life and children. If your experience is anything like mine, it will be life-changing.” – Jennifer Marshall, Hands and Hearts Build volunteer and QBE LMI employee

“ It’s such a good antidote to sitting behind a desk looking at a computer screen to be out in the fresh air doing something physical.”

– Tony Bryer


Changing lives through partnershipHabitat for Humanity Australia works in partnership with communities across the Asia-Pacific region to address housing poverty and to support integrated community development. While Habitat for Humanity’s core expertise lies in housing provision, projects are also driven by community needs and take a holistic approach to addressing the complex aspects of poverty.

Habitat for Humanity Australia awarded full AusAID accreditationOn 3 May 2012, Habitat for Humanity Australia became fully accredited with the Australian Government Aid Agency (AusAID). The accreditation process involves a rigorous assessment of an Australian NGO’s management capacity, systems, operations and linkages with the Australian community against a set of criteria that have been developed by AusAID and the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID).

Habitat Australia’s transition from base level to full accreditation in 2012 affirms that the organisation is both progressive and professional, and committed to ensuring high standards of development practice. With this comes opportunities to expand our funding base and assist even more families and communities in need.

Building resilience in urban slum settlements In May 2012, Habitat Australia received funding through AusAID’s Innovations Fund for a pilot project in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The project will engage Arup and Architects Without Frontiers to design and deliver a training program for Habitat Bangladesh on planning slum upgrade projects, which can then be replicated with other Habitat Australia partners in the Asia-Pacific region. It will also build Habitat for Humanity’s capacity to operate in complex urban environments, where there is rising demand for low-cost housing solutions.

Shelter Reference GroupIn August 2011, Habitat for Humanity Australia formed the Shelter Reference Group, bringing together organisations working internationally in the field of shelter including World Vision, Caritas, The Australian Red Cross, Emergency Architects, Architects Without Frontiers and Arup. The group provides a forum for sharing best practices as well as a platform for joint advocacy initiatives.

Since its formation, the Shelter Reference Group has secured funds to support a study on leading practice in disaster-resilient shelter construction in the Asia-Pacific region. The study is currently underway in the Solomon Islands and Sri Lanka.


Shelter SecurityThe provision of permanent housing solutions is the cornerstone of Habitat’s program. Shelter security is an important goal in its own right and a powerful catalyst for poverty reduction that cuts across almost every other indicator for human development.

155 homes repaired

Changing lives through partnership – continued

Schools partnerships in South AustraliaA growing feature of Habitat for Humanity South Australia’s work last financial year was the integration of training for unemployed adults and students at risk with the home building program. Partnerships with schools, employment training providers and individual volunteers is providing momentum and many social benefits that extend way beyond the housing provided.

During the year, the program in South Australia extended its reach beyond Adelaide and into Murray Bridge where the first house is under construction and involves students from Murray Bridge and Mannum High Schools. The launch of the Habitat Shed at Para West has also been significant in providing a base for training and volunteer activity that will drive growth in the building program in the year ahead.

Resolving land supply issues in Western AustraliaThe past 18 months has seen Habitat for Humanity Western Australia working to resolve critical land supply issues. The team has now negotiated a new agreement with the State’s land supplier, LandCorp, which will see operations proceed on a sustainable basis and is discussing the final details of a further block of land in Seville Grove, the site of the first Habitat home in Western Australia.

The Goldfields Chapter now has title to its first block of land, in Boulder, and the Southwest Chapter is continuing land negotiations. The Southwest Chapter is also establishing a building materials recycling facility in an industrial area of Bunbury, paving the way for a successful year ahead in Western Australia.

New South Wales forms a unique partnershipIn 2011, Habitat for Humanity New South Wales formed a unique collaboration with the Junee Correction Centre, where inmates are building house components within the prison facility. The components are then transported to the site for construction by sponsors and volunteers.

The first house has already been delivered to the site and is being fitted out, while the walls of the second house have been erected.

Three houses are also being constructed at Canowindra, and are expected to be finished in time for three families to get the keys to their new home by Christmas.

Building homes for bushfire affected familiesIn May 2011, Habitat for Humanity Victoria launched its largest project to date. 25 new, safe, decent and affordable homes will be built at the Yea Heights Estate development, primarily to help rebuild communities affected by the 2009 Black Saturday Bushfires. The homes have been professionally designed, and will be sustainable and energy efficient.

At a ceremony in June 2012, the first home was handed over to the partner family and work is now well underway on the next four, which are due for completion later in 2012.

Habitat for Humanity Victoria has completed 42 homes to date, with a further 26 planned over the next two years, keeping the affiliate’s faithful army of corporate and individual volunteers very busy. Over the past 12 months, more than 800 volunteers have donated over 5,600 hours of their time to help complete four new homes. Volunteers have also worked on 30 Brush with Kindness projects assisting bushfire affected families.

Building moves full steam ahead in Ipswich The floods during early 2011 devastated much of Queensland and had a significant impact on several communities. Many were displaced from the safe environment they once enjoyed, to a life that became much less secure or certain. Consequently the majority of the Ipswich Chapter’s work over the past year has been flood recovery work.

Last financial year, the first home was built in Bundamba, Ipswich, and took just 21 days of work to complete. Construction has since commenced on two more houses in Ipswich for families whose homes were washed away in the floods. All three homes are both flood and cyclone proof, and are gifts from the Gold Coast Construction Company, Pearls MiiHome. They will be constructed by a builder, with the help of volunteers and apprentices.


Meet one of our home partnersMrs Hai is 73 years old. She lives with her two daughters and her granddaughter in Long An, Vietnam. Prior to moving into their Habitat home, their home was neat and large, but the floor was made of soil and the roof of palm fronds. The walls leaked during heavy rains and were easily damaged by strong winds.

The family did not have access to clean water. They drew water from a well and used an outdoor toilet. They made panels out of palm fronds to sell and their income was unstable. Mrs Hai had lived in her previous home for 50 years. After her husband passed away, she was unable to rebuild the house as she was busy looking after the family. Mrs Hai moved into her new home in December 2011, which Australian volunteers helped to build as part of

the Nine Dragons ‘Special Event Build’. Moving into a new home was a life-long dream.Projects such as Nine Dragons assist families like Mrs Hai’s to build, repair and upgrade their homes to include things like proper ventilation, flooring and sanitation. Improved hygiene and living conditions also reduce the incidence of ill health and accidents in these communities, including vulnerability to water borne diseases.
