Habitat for Humanity's corporate partnership programme challenges businesses to work with us to ensure that all people have simple, decent shelter. Corporate partnerships address the problem of poverty housing, providing a positive and creative solution and offering a wealth of benefits.

These include employee participation opportunities, public relations, media coverage, tax benefits, and a permanent, positive effect on company morale. Our programme also satisfies the desire of the company and its staff to help in the community; or fulfill their corporate social responsibility.

There are many different ways in which companies can get involved. On an HFH build, united in the goal of helping those in need, employees at every level get to see each other at their best. It's an opportunity to grow, to bond and to experience good feelings that get carried back into the workplace.

"From first-hand experience, I can say that this is an extraordinary way to help others while at the same time working with colleagues in a fulfilling and exciting way."

Michael Kirkwood CMG, Managing Director & Citigroup Country Officer, UK.

"It is thoroughly worthwhile - second to none in terms of team-building. The history of Habitat for Humanity shows that it's a very worthwhile project and it works! It is a great way to get your staff motivated. It's hands-on and has great impact."

Lois Duguid, Head of Community Affairs, Freshfields Brückhaus Deringer.
