What are we running for?
As you know, Habitat builds houses, because we believe that a safe house is the basis for a better future. More than 46 million people already live in a Habitat house, but there is still a lot more to do: 1 in every 5 people in the world still lives in a slum!

With the Damloop donations you support the work of Habitat: we still support refugees from Ukraine who fled their own homes because of the war. But we also work in Nepal where we continuously provide landrights for women so they can stay in their houses, also when their husbands are not there anymore. And we continue to work in Uganda, for example, where we not only build houses, but also give young people the opportunity to follow vocational training, so that they can provide for their own income and that of their family. We also provide access to clean drinking water and proper toilets. Together we build better lives!
