Adapting to new realities

When confronting a complex social and economical climate, every organization from the civil society needs to adapt to the new financial context and overcome the scarcity of resources through new, creative and economical solutions which are still sustainable.

This is why Habitat for Humanity Argentina (HPHA) continues searching for innovative ways and cooperation with other organizations for each project, as well as receiving new volunteers, in order to sustain our work and the impact of our partner families.

The projects being developed during the first semester of this year are a response to the clear challenges the socio-economic context of our country presents. The Disaster Reponse in Tartagal project, managed by volunteers with the support of associations and donors, allowed us to reach more than 70 families by helping them clean their homes, supporting them and being present with them. The building acquired for “Recycling Urban Houses” in the City of Buenos Aires represents a significant step in the quest for sustainable urban solutions. The incremental improvement project “subsidized” in Santa Fe, whose funds were gathered by the families themselves, is a clear example on how important results can be achieved by fostering solidarity among communities.

We invite everyone who would like to join us once again, so that we can jointly help low-income families move forward at this very difficult moment.
