History
Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit international organization; we build suitable homes offering the opportunity to put faith and love in action.
Habitat for Humanity El Salvador is affiliated with a global network with a presence in over 100 countries, building suitable homes and improving the quality of life.
We started our activities in El Salvador in 1992 in the department of Santa Ana where the first 29 houses were built. We have built more than 7,100 homes benefitting more than 35,500 Salvadorans who now have a suitable home where they can live as God intends.
All people need a suitable home in order to achieve acceptable development as a human being.
