Building Communities

Community building is a means of bringing together like interests to further common goals. Community building is actually part of holistic community development, in which community members play the most important role. It is most effective when the energy for these activities comes from the citizens within the community instead of being imposed on them from an outside interest. Habitat for Humanity strives to build with a community, not for a community.
