Chair’s report CEO’s reportat habitat for humanity australia we do more than just build houses – we build stability for future generations. to our families a house means many things – somewhere to work; clean water and sanitation; a place for children to do homework; but most of all a home and security to pass onto future generations. in 2011 i met maya when we worked together building her habitat home in itahari, nepal. she was widowed at 23 after spending a year nursing her quadriplegic husband. the a$200 workers’ compensation he received was spent on doctor’s bills and rent. as is the nepalese custom, maya is never able to remarry, and as a widow she has no status in the community. she was considered ‘fortunate’ to have her brother-in law’s dirt kitchen floor to sleep on. this year i returned to nepal and found a strong determined woman. maya is now proud and independent with hope for her children’s future. she’s repaying her habitat for humanity home loan and her children have a warm and dry home.closer to home, in adelaide i attended the ‘dedication’ of three homes. dedication ceremonies are very moving experiences where the house keys are handed to the habitat family. i met families determined to change the course of their children’s lives and i am proud they have been given a hand up and out of a housing misery.

it is my pleasure to present the 2013 habitat for humanity australia annual report.before becoming ceo last year, i volunteered with habitat for humanity on a number of overseas house building trips. i felt a strong responsibility to give back and wanted to get my hands dirty. When i had a chance to join my first Global Village build in cambodia, it was a life-changing experience. For me, joining habitat for humanity australia as ceo has been a dream come true. i’ve learnt a great deal, especially from visiting some of our international projects. my visit to bangladesh was particularly moving. i’d been to poor countries before, but i was shocked by the poverty i encountered in the slums of dhaka – thousands of people living on top of one another with no clean water or access to proper toilets. it was overwhelming, but it reinforced my feeling that there is much we can do to break the generational cycle of poverty. habitat for humanity projects change lives. i saw this in action when i returned to nepal with sixty volunteers to help build homes for our Hand in Hand project. in the two years since the project began, 306 houses were built and families had come along in leaps and bounds. during the reunion between volunteers and nepali women, many tears and hugs were shared. seeing how secure housing absolutely transforms people’s lives had a profound effect on all of us.

i would like to extend a sincere thank you to every individual and company that has supported our life changing work throughout the year. a special acknowledgement must go to our Foundation partner of 11 years, Qbe lmi – a company that works every day to put people into secure homes. thank you for your support. you do not always see first-hand the hope and happiness you create, or the gratitude of the families whose lives you change, but i assure you smiles are broad and appreciation is deeper than you can ever imagine. i salute our Global Village and australian volunteers, our Habitat Women members, supporters of our gala dinner and those who held a high tea. i am inspired by your willingness to help people you have never met but whose lives you will touch for generations. thanks to our directors for their time, energy and skills they invest to guide our mission and work on home building. Finally, heartfelt thanks to our staff that work so hard to make projects a reality and smiles appear. led ably by our new ceo, jon blackwell, we are on a journey of growth to ensure we help even more families – thank you. sincerely,chris Franks, chair habitat for humanity australia

in australia we are committed to working with our affiliates to further develop and grow our australian program. this year we appointed an australian program manager to give this program the emphasis that it deserves and to ensure that the habitat family in australia continues to thrive and grow.going forward, i see habitat for humanity australia growing significantly from our already solid base. We are working hard to encourage more church groups and organisations to help us achieve our mission. engaging the younger generations in our vision of a world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live will help ensure that we make changes that last for generations.last, but not least, i want to acknowledge those who make our work possible. to our board, our staff, and our volunteers – thank you so much for your support, time, energy and hard work. to our kind individual and corporate donors – thank you for your generosity. and to our Foundation partner, Qbe lmi, thank you so much for joining with us to change the future for generations of people. sincerely,jon blackwell, ceo habitat for humanity australia

Where we work

habitat for humanity australia is a part of a global network of habitat for humanity offices. habitat for humanity is the world’s number one not-for-profit provider of housing for low-income families in need. established in 1976, habitat for humanity has worked globally in thousands of communities to build and repair over 600,000 homes. by working together toward change, we have sheltered more than three million people. We help a family every 5 and a half minutes.at habitat for humanity australia, we believe it all starts at home, that a decent home provides much more than bricks and mortar. While we’re building, we’re also training, giving local communities the expertise and knowledge they can then share with others. a home is the foundation for giving families the opportunity to be healthier, happier and more secure.

our australian programs are delivered through our local affiliates, located in five states across australia. they work with the assistance of generous sponsors and volunteers to build homes for families living in sub-standard housing. these families receive a no-interest loan and contribute 500 ‘sweat equity’ hours toward building their dream home.We also engage the community through programs like Brush with Kindness, where volunteers come together to repair and improve homes for members of the community who are less fortunate.

NEW SOutH WALESWith the help of our generous corporate sponsors and volunteers, we completed the last home in our bidwill project, western sydney, in november 2012.this project is now home to nine families who would otherwise have continued to live in deplorable conditions. We are indebted to our Foundation partner on this project, Qbe lmi, as well as our sponsors, hometrack, bny mellon and Westpac.in regional nsW, the support we received from our donors allowed us to buy a block of land in canowindra and build three homes for families facing financial hardship. volunteers from novorail travelled to canowindra to build homes in a team building session.

quEENSLANDover the last year, we continued to focus on helping families recover from the devastating 2011 floods.in july 2013, we held our 28th Brush with Kindness day in Queensland, where we helped flood-affected families carry out vital repairs and maintenance work on their homes – from elderly couples on low incomes, to people battling cancer and families doing it tough.

We’d like to thank our supporters and volunteers who very kindly donated their time, materials and hard work on the day.

SOutH AuStRALIAWe recently completed our remote indigenous project in the Far east arnhem land community of mapuru. the habitat for humanity team joined with more than 20 community volunteers to build a shelter and storage shed at the local airport to benefit the isolated community for years to come.this year also saw nine Brush with Kindness projects engage the local community to give a hand up to disadvantaged families. these included one community project, two shared accommodation facilities, and six houses; five of which have now been completed and handed over to the partnering families.our strong partnerships with education and training partners continued in 2013. through our partnership with Workskil, 10 unemployed people who participated in our Habitat Shed and building programs found work.

VICtORIAin may 2013, we celebrated 25 years of building safe, decent and affordable homes across the state with a celebratory dinner in melbourne.We’ve now built 46 homes in victoria, the two most recent of which were handed over to our partner families at yea this year. stage 2 of our yea heights estate development and new projects at drouin and crib point will soon see us add another 13 homes to this total.our Brush with Kindness program continues to help families devastated by the 2009 black saturday fires. the program has also taken a new direction, assisting a number of families in the broader community who are in need of special assistance due to their current living circumstances.

WEStERN AuStRALIAour program in Western australia was strengthened in 2013 with the signing of a new loan agreement with landcorp. this exciting outcome will free up funds to help more families in need by deferring repayments for up to five years. We hope to finalise a similar agreement with the department of housing very soon.We have now submitted building applications for our seville grove and boulder housing projects, and our south West recycle centre in bunbury is operating successfully. this centre will provide raw materials and volunteer opportunities for our first property in the region.

PARA WESt SHED the Habitat Shed at Para West in Adelaide operates various programs for students, the long-term unemployed, and other members of the community. the aim of the Habitat Shed is to teach people new skills that will help them find a job.As part of our program, volunteers learn welding, woodwork and metalwork. they work on a range of projects – from building security fencing, to modifying a trade trailer and making a wash-down table.Students studying for a Certificate I in Construction can also receive practical experience through the Habitat Shed. the current attendees are all performing very well, and we are now planning to expand and offer the same opportunity for students studying for a Certificate II qualification.We also have 14 clients from Workskil, a not-for-profit employment service provider, involved in the Habitat Shed program. We’ve been pleased to see productivity steadily increase as everyone obtains more skills, and so far 10 of our clients have found work.

Ruth, Anthony and their six children - all of whom are aged 10 and under - have just received the keys to their very first home at our housing estate at Yea Heights.A loan organised by our team in Victoria gave the family the hand-up they needed after losing everything in the Black Saturday bushfires.“It is so hard to describe the last decade of my life,” Ruth said.

“It’s been filled with worry about where we’re going to live and what stability we’re giving the kids. “We haven’t been able to afford to keep the cold out of the caravan during winter, but now we are finally looking forward to being warm.”the new home will do so much to improve the family’s wellbeing, and we are proud to have been able to help Ruth and Anthony build a new life for their children.

LIFtING FEmALE-HEADED FAmILIES Out OF POVERtY nepal is a desperately poor country, and women tend to be among its most oppressed and disadvantaged citizens. Female-headed households struggle to meet even their most basic needs, and are often denied access to and control over land. that’s why supporting female-headed households is a key focus of our work in nepal. giving women a hand up helps families escape a life of hardship, reduces poverty, and improves children’s health and education. it also tends to speed up an area’s overall development, as women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. in march 2013, we completed our two-year Hand in Hand Project in eastern nepal that saw us help 306 women save for and build their own homes.before partnering with us, most of these families lived in cramped, rudimentary huts with no toilet facilities or protection, leaving them at high risk of illness and theft. children were particularly vulnerable to disease and exploitation, and more likely to miss out on an education because they had to work.the new homes are more than just a roof overhead. children now have a healthy and secure place to live, and mothers are in a better position to care for their family.

A LIBERAtED FutuRE FOR DISADVANtAGED FAmILIES in nepal, many entrenched inequalities have been carried down through generations, and caste-based discrimination still exists in some areas. one example of this is the Kamaiya system, which forced thousands of people from ethnic minorities – including children – to work as bonded labourers to repay debts owed by their ancestors.the nepalese government officially ended this system in 2000, and more than 20,000 ex-Kamaiya labourers were granted land and promised further assistance. these promises remain unfulfilled.in october 2012, we launched the ex-Kamaiya Project in western nepal that focuses on ex-Kamaiya settlements, where families live in rundown houses made from mud and plastic sheeting. most lack toilets and there are only a few wells to share water between many families. diseases such as diarrhoea, cholera and typhoid are common, and sickness spreads easily because families have little access to clean water.our aim is to empower the ex-Kamaiya people and improve these families’ lives. both men and women are actively involved in designing their homes, as well as selecting sites for water and toilet facilities.We’ve already helped 113 households build toilets and wells, and take part in essential hygiene and sanitation training. We’re also providing vocational training to increase their income-earning potential, and helping households gain access to loans to improve the quality of their homes. as the project continues, we are expanding to two other ex-Kamaiya communities in the area.

mEEt HELEN CONWAY, HFHA AmBASSADOR FOR HABItAt WOmEN Helen Conway, Director of the Workplace Gender Equality Agency and Ambassador of our Habitat Women group, travelled to Nepal with us on International Women’s Day in march 2013 to help build homes for women in need.“I wanted to do something really different to commemorate International Women’s Day,” said Helen. “We talk a lot about what we can do to raise awareness about gender equality and bring about social change, but there’s nothing like getting your hands dirty and seeing real, tangible results from your hard work.”Helen said the best part of the experience was “seeing the spirit and generosity of the local community and the courage and commitment of the female leaders”.Working alongside other Australian volunteers, Helen helped give her 80-year-old home partner, tanki, a better life. tanki lives with two of her sons and is dependent on them to take care of her. She was very happy to finally have a decent, more secure home.“Five sons left me because there wasn’t enough space,” tanki said. “I would like to keep two sons with me. A good house makes that possible. I have dignity now.”

Sakuntala is 35 and lives in eastern Nepal with her four-year old son, Prajwol. Her husband left after only five months of marriage and never returned.When we first met Sakuntala, her tiny house was just 11m2. the roof leaked and was close to collapsing, and her home flooded during the monsoons. there were no windows, so the rooms were very dark, and smoke could not escape easily.

After partnering with Habitat for Humanity two years ago, Sakuntala helped build her own clean, safe home. She’s opened a small shop, which means she can now afford to send Prajwol to school. And he has room to study and make the most of his education.Sakuntala is healthier and happier, and is delighted to be able to give her son a better future. “I feel very lucky that I received support from Australia to build my house.”

HEALtHIER LIVES FOR CHILDREN AND ADuLtS LIVING WItH HIV/AIDS there is still a significant stigma attached to hiv/aids in cambodia, where 8% of children have been orphaned by hiv/aids and 7,000 more live with the disease. but thanks to our supporters, we are working with our cambodian partners to help 140 households devastated by hiv/aids, build safe and decent homes – and healthier lives.as of june 2013, our Orphans and Vulnerable Children project has helped build 25 new houses and repair another 18. these simple yet strong homes will protect children and their families.We’ve also given 41 families access to life-saving facilities like clean water and toilets, and 54 families have received hygiene and sanitation training to help them live healthier lives. another 66 families have also received training in financial planning to help the community increase its income and plan for the future.

BuILDING NEW LIVES WItH HANDS AND HEARtS in november 2012, we sent a team of global village volunteers to cambodia to build a home as part of the Hands and Hearts build team on our Orphans and Vulnerable Children project.one of the people our australian volunteers worked alongside to build a home was Kem. Kem learnt she was hiv positive not long after her husband died. she earns just enough to support her children, who are also hiv positive, and is committed to doing everything she can to help them.Kem’s new home means that she has a clean and safe environment where she and her family can begin building a healthier future.

Kem now helps other people infected with hiv understand how to deal with their problems and maintain a healthy lifestyle, and encourages others to share their stories. “i volunteer and it gives me meaning and strength,” said Kem. “i want to let people know we are capable of supporting each other, and we cannot give up. We have to decide to live and fight the situation with our families.”

SECuRING tHE FutuRE FOR mORE FAmILIES economic growth in cambodia over the past ten years has seen many people from rural areas move to the city. even though the government has introduced new laws to cope with the increased demand for land, this influx of people has led to land ownership problems for many poor people. that is why – with the support of our donors – we’ve started the Battambang Housing and Land Tenure Project to help cambodian families in battambang obtain secure land tenure. We’re working with the cambodian government to help families in up to 20 informal settlements gain ownership of their land and build decent homes. in partnership with habitat for humanity cambodia, we will provide 30 families with affordable loans so they can build houses on their new land. the houses will have toilets, water and electricity. another 500 families will receive training in construction techniques, home maintenance, and how to reduce the risk of damage due to natural disasters.

mEEt SAFIAH mOORE, HABItAt FOR HumANItY AuStRALIA VOLuNtEER Safiah moore took part in our Hands and Hearts volunteer team in Cambodia, where she helped build a new home for Kem and her children. (You can read more about Kem in our Hands and Hearts story on this page.)“the highlight of my experience was seeing Kem and her boys while we were building,” Safiah said. “Kem is such a strong lady, and it was beautiful to see her work so hard alongside us – and be so proud and happy about her new home at the end of the week. I enjoyed our broken English- Khmer conversations.”Safiah told us that the other high points were working alongside and getting to know the families, seeing a physical product at the end of the build, and seeing how the lives of families who’d received the first Hands and Hearts homes had been transformed.“Hands and Hearts was an invaluable experience. together with our partner family, the local workers and translators, brick by brick we built a home – and friendships that I hope will last a lifetime.”Image above: Safiah Moore, third from left, with Kem and the team from the Hands and Hearts build.

Chen is a 47-year-old farmer from Angkor Chum. He lost his right leg in the war, and recently went blind in one eye due to the landmine shrapnel still lodged in his eyes.Despite these challenges, Chen refuses to give up. His village had few water sources, so he hand-dug a well that supplied his family, friends and relatives. But heavy usage caused the well to collapse a few months later.

We helped Chen build a new cement well, and provided materials and technical support. Chen and the villagers supplied the labour.Chen’s new well has changed the lives of everyone around him. the surrounding area is dry and barren, but the village is lush and green. Health has improved and farming is now possible all year round. As a result, Chen’s daughter, who was about to leave school to help support her family, can now complete her education.

Njor and her family lived in a shack in a Phnom Penh slum. We helped her build a new home in a peaceful village that changed her family’s life.“What I love most is the environment. The air is fresh,” Njor said. “The house is beautiful, the toilet is clean, and we now have good hygiene and health.”

Safe and secure housing creates positive, long-lasting change

CAmBODIA



BuILDING LONG-tERm StRAtEGIES FOR BEttER CItIES the city of dhaka is home to 14 million people, of whom 4.1 million live in slums. Families are crammed into tiny shacks, garbage is everywhere, drains overflow, and the limited communal toilets are dirty and dangerous. dhaka is also extremely vulnerable to disasters, which puts families at risk of flooding and fires.because living conditions are so perilous for so many families we wanted to implement a project with maximum and immediate impact on as many families as possible. in may 2012, we were proud to launch an innovative program, the urban improvement project, which gives dhaka’s slum residents the tools they need to diagnose and improve their life-threatening living conditions.We began by working with local partners and community leaders to determine the key problem areas. since then, drains have been cleared and repaired, toilet blocks are being improved and wells have been installed or upgraded. Families also received training on health and hygiene, as well as how to protect themselves from disasters.as our project continues, community leaders will learn how to plan for the slum’s longer-term development.

ImPROVING HEALtH FOR GENERAtIONS tO COmE in october 2011 we began our Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Project in north-east bangladesh. our three-year project will reach over 9,000 people, including training 7,300 community members in hygiene, disaster preparedness and construction. the project is ensuring communities have better housing, clean water and sanitation facilities, and hygiene training.

phase two has now begun and will give another 123 households access to decent sanitation by teaching them how to build toilets. Families will also receive training on hygiene and

SAFE HOmES FOR FAmILIES WHO’VE LOSt EVERYtHING more than 10 years ago, hundreds of families were forced to flee their homes due to conflict and instability. since then, these families have only had access to temporary, sub-standard shelter without proper sanitation or protection from the elements – but with the help of our supporters, our Internally Displaced Persons Project in bitung is working to change all that.

phase one of this project saw 125 families secure land and move into safe homes. We began phase two in april 2012. We’re now helping 106 internally displaced families in the Klabat camp gain ownership of the land on which they live, and improve their homes and living conditions. by giving people access to vocational skills training and microcredit, we’ll help families build better lives for themselves for generations.

We’re delighted to report that 28 houses have now been built, with three more close to completion. the next phase of construction has already started, and septic tanks and toilets have been installed.

it’s been inspiring to see how much our partner families have embraced the opportunity to build new homes and a better future. among other initiatives, the community has

health, including how to recognise clean water sources and washing their hands safely. We’ll also work with 195 families to help them make their homes stronger and better able to withstand natural disasters.

From previous experience we know the project will have a ripple down effect on the whole community when participants teach family and friends healthy hygiene practices. it will reduce the number of illnesses and injuries people suffer, and help improve the entire community’s health.

LEADING tHE WAY IN BuILDING BEttER SHELtERS in 2011 we formed the Shelter Reference Group bringing together australia’s leading shelter organisations. together we are developing innovative approaches to bring safe and decent shelter to the world’s most vulnerable people.by working together, we can share the lessons we’ve learned, build partnerships, encourage innovation, and campaign to make sure everyone has a safe and adequate homes – both here in australia and overseas.in june 2013, we hosted the Shelter Reference Group’s inaugural shelter Forum. We addressed the issue of providing shelter to people in need, especially in light of the city slums and climate changes that impact people in countries like bangladesh.as well as habitat for humanity australia, the Shelter Reference Group includes:• architects Without Frontiers• australian red cross• caritas australia• childFund australia• emergency architects australia• World vision international• arup• partner housing australasia • rmit university

organised their own work days to help clear land for new homes, installed water piping to the site, and set up special events, such as a ceremony to mark the start of construction.

over the next year, we’re planning to complete 106 new homes, and ensure they have access to electricity, water and sanitation. all of our partner families will be taught how to maintain a healthy living environment, and women will receive vocational skills or micro-enterprise training.

COmmuNItIES FOR COmmuNItIES IN BItuNG in late 2001, lance brooks took part in a reality television program in the south australian desert where he had a small taste of the hardships millions of people live with every day. during his experience, he was amazed and comforted by the strength of community. When lance’s time on the show came to an end, he was determined to encourage others to draw on the energy and sense of belonging that can exist within a community, and how to harness this to help less fortunate communities. that is how Communities for Communities was born. With the support of the people of the canada bay area in sydney, Communities for Communities has hosted many events for habitat for humanity australia. the money they have raised has built houses and important facilities in thailand, the philippines, vietnam and indonesia. Communities for Communities is now helping us work with families in bitung, indonesia, to acquire land, build homes, and rebuild their community. they’ve also been lending a hand on the ground by taking part in building homes, and we’re incredibly grateful for their support.

A SAFE AND SECuRE HOmE FOR A FAmILY Shabana and her four children now have a more secure and healthier place to live, thanks to the upgrades made in her community as a part of the Urban Improvement Project.In their house, the mud floor is now cement and the flimsy broken door is solid steel and lockable, ensuring better safety for the family of mostly women. “Everyone is feeling good and happy something has been done for the community,” Shabana said of the project.“Before we would struggle to collect water,” she said.Shabana now uses the well and in-home water filter provided by us to ensure drinking water is clean for her family. they also use the new community toilets and attended training sessions on water and sanitation hygiene, waste management and construction technology.Shabana is mum to three girls Popy, Roshni, Neha, and son Reyaz uddin. Shabana’s husband left five years ago and doesn’t support the family, leaving Shabana and the two older girls to provide. they produce decorative bead work for shoes for 1,000 taka a week. their home is also their work place, so the improved floor and security is vital to their livelihood and overall health.

ENDRIKIO’S StORY Endrikio is nine years old and lives in Bitung. He and his family were one of hundreds who were driven from their homes by ethnic and religious conflict. Endrikio and his parents used to live in a rickety tin house that let in all the rain, and he was often cold and wet. the constant damp left his schoolbooks soggy, and he could only study by the light of a faint lamp. “I often felt embarrassed in front of my friends,” he told us.Endrikio’s parents partnered with Habitat for Humanity Australia to build a new house. Endrikio is now lucky enough to have a safe roof overhead, with a tV! “Yay! I am a fan of the tV,” Endrikio said. And more importantly, Endrikio can now study in a warm, safe and clean home – using his nice, dry schoolbooks.

Our achievements overseas

KEEPING CHILDREN SAFE FROm StORmS the vast majority of families in long an, southern vietnam, live in poorly built and unsafe homes. to make matters worse, long an is one of the most disaster-prone regions in the world. the province is built along the mekong river, which floods annually. now climate change is placing these already vulnerable people at even more risk of disasters. every year homes are destroyed and countless school or work days lost because of injury, illness or house reconstruction caused by the devastation. that’s why we are now working with our partners on the Nine Dragons Project in vietnam to help the community build stronger homes and protect themselves from disasters. over the last two years, we’ve helped 15 families build new homes, and repaired 65 homes so they’re better able to withstand disasters. We’ve also given 164 people construction training, and 60 people from different households have been trained on evacuation processes. Families now also have improved water and sanitation facilities; with 90 households now accessing new or repaired toilets and wells. phase two of the Nine Dragons Project is due to start in september 2013, and will see us work with another 200 families in long an and neighbouring tien giang to continue to improve houses, water and sanitation facilities, and disaster preparedness. our next phase will also see us implement livelihood training for women to help them increase their ability to make a living – and build better futures.

PROtECtING FAmILIES tHROuGHOut OuR REGION sadly, the dangers faced by the people of long an are not unique. over the last 20 years, around 141 million people lost their homes in over 3,500 natural disasters.1 people living in poverty tend to be hit hardest by disasters like flooding and fires as their overcrowded and flimsy living conditions offer little protection. the long-term impact on families is devastating. people often have to miss work so they can repair or rebuild their damaged homes, while children may not attend school to help support their families. Families are also at grave risk of injury, illness and death – not just during the disaster itself, but in the days and weeks that follow, particularly if their homes and water and sanitation systems have been destroyed. nearly seven out of 10 deaths that occur during such disasters happen in the asia-pacific region. this is why reducing the risk of disaster is a key focus of our work here at habitat for humanity australia. We work with people throughout our region to prepare them for natural disasters. We help them build stronger homes, and provide training in responding to disasters. We help people in long an and beyond to create long-term changes that will help them overcome poverty.1: Data drawn from EM-DAT: The OFDA/CRED International Disaster Database

tHE POWER tO ImPROVE LIVES In 2013, Julia Brownlee travelled to rural Vietnam with a team of 12 women to help build a house for one of the families participating in our project there.“the family’s previous dwelling was a sheet iron, single-room shelter with a dirt floor and no sanitation or running water,” said Julia. “the project was to complete at least 70% of a new brick house with a concrete floor in five days, and I’m proud to say we achieved that target.“We travelled to a rural village each day and were briefed by the construction supervisor, with on-the-job support from local workmen. tasks included bricklaying, cleaning recycled roof tiles, hand mixing cement and concrete for wall beams, and painting window shutters.“the camaraderie and collaboration between the team and the local workers – who had no English – was testament to the power of shared values, goals and good humour. “In five days the team contributed nearly 500 hours of work to the build and the fast progress on the house was impressive. Local officials presided over an emotional dedication ceremony on the final day. Saying goodbye was bittersweet, but knowing we had provided them with a lasting legacy was a great feeling. We are all richer for the experience.”

mEEt mARtIN tuRNBuLL, HABItAt FOR HumANItY AuStRALIA LEGACY BuILDER “When I was making a Will recently, I was in little doubt that I wanted to include Habitat for Humanity Australia in my list of bequests. I had been a keen donor for many years and had always liked the idea that I was contributing to real, practical and sustainable improvements in so many less fortunate places. What better than helping people into homes that give them security, health and a path to a better future? I think that’s what I want to know my wealth will help do, after I’ve gone. In the meantime, I’ll continue helping in whatever small ways I can.”

OuR GALA DINNER GIVES mORE FAmILIES NEW HOmES in may 2013, we held our annual gala dinner at sydney’s ivy ballroom to raise money for our 1,000 Homes for Hope appeal.We launched this campaign in 2011 to transform the lives of 1,000 families living without safe and decent shelter in australia and the asia-pacific region. on the night, our dinner attendees gave $138,841 to help achieve this goal.our mc, and valued long-term habitat for humanity australia ambassador, angela catterns, kept guests entertained, along with performances from a glowing hula-hoop artist and some incredible singing by opera australia performers. moving speeches from habitat for humanity australia ambassador for Habitat Women, helen conway, and our ceo jon blackwell helped inspire people to give even more families a hand up.the money raised will do more than put roofs over families’ heads. a secure home opens a whole new world of opportunities – and creates change that improves the health, safety, education and prosperity of entire communities for generations.

tRANSFORmING tHE LIVES OF WOmEN AND GIRLS Habitat Women is a very special group of australian supporters who work with women and girls living in poverty to build homes, communities, hope and understanding.the group began as a network of 100 women who came together on international Women’s day in nepal in 2011. in just one week, the group built 10 homes for 10 female-headed households – and the experience inspired them to start Habitat Women. but their amazing fundraising efforts meant we were able to build a total of 306 homes over two yearsHabitat Women’s vision is a world where every woman and girl actively participates in building her own future. they helped us recruit australian volunteers to travel to nepal for international Women’s day in 2013 to build homes for even more female-headed families.the group is now working on a new program called Leadership in Action, where emerging female australian leaders are given the opportunity to help build a house in cambodia and participate in leadership development activities.

Your support is creating change for generations

“I first heard of Habitat for Humanity when I was still in high school, growing up in South Africa. I loved the concept so much that the name stayed with me long after.“When I immigrated to Australia the name came up again and I remembered how much I loved the organisation and what they do, and I started donating monthly. the newsletters arrived and they always spoke about upcoming Global Village builds, so I signed up for one.“Volunteering on a build is the most rewarding and satisfying thing I’ve ever done in my life. I love knowing that I’m making a real difference to a family in need with just my bare hands, and

while doing that, feeling a true sense of community.“the experience of caring and helping each other, giving without expecting anything back, and seeing how differences in language, nationality, race, gender and religion are cast away in the presence of basic human kind-ness is very humbling and moving. “Habitat for Humanity is one of the most worthwhile charities I have been lucky enough to be involved with. I’ve seen this firsthand from my volunteer trips and I can see the difference it makes to individuals and families. that’s why I like to contribute to that even when I’m not physically at a build myself.”

23Habitat for Humanity Australia – Annual Report 2013

CHANGING tHE LIVES OF EVERYDAY PEOPLE Since 2001, the support we’ve received from our Foundation Partner qBE LmI has helped us to transform the lives of over 100 Australian families. together, we’ve given hope to people who would otherwise have missed out on the opportunities that come with living in a safe, affordable and decent home.Over the last 11 years, hundreds of qBE LmI staff and clients have built homes alongside our partner families. In 2012, qBE LmI’s support helped us give a hand up to Victorian families who lost everything in the Black Sunday fires. their kindness meant we could plan new homes for 25 families, of which the first three have now been completed.qBE LmI’s partnership has also been vital in NSW. In November 2012, nine families in Bidwill, western Sydney, were given new hope for their future when the Capital markets Build led by qBE LmI completed their Habitat for Humanity homes.
