    Liberation & the life that comes after: Aditi Bisen, reflections of a team leader

    “We’re only there for a week, but the stories stick with you.” Aditi Bisen has gone for enough build trips to know that the physical house is not the only legacy that will stay with you. Sometimes all it takes is that one family you meet or one story shared with you to forever change the shape your life. “It’s always good to have these experiences in your back pocket when you go through hardships. It just enriches you as a person,” she said. For Aditi, that story was about th

    Staff Abroad: Reflections of a team leader

    “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” — African Proverb. From March 31 to 6 April 2019, I got the chance to lead a team of individual volunteers on a 5-day build trip to Battambang in Cambodia. We worked alongside a young couple, Voeury and Channy, who lived with their two young sons (the youngest only 6 months old!), their elderly mother and elderly aunt. Their house, made of palm leaves and old zinc (pictured below), would leak whenever it

    Women building for women: Helping two mothers' quest for their dream homes

    As women everywhere were championing female rights on International Women's Day, Hesti only had 1 wish: to bring her children back under one roof and live as a family again. “I need this house so that I can be reunited with my children," said the 41-year-old single mother. Working as a seamstress in a garment factory in Batam, Hesti's salary was barely enough to provide for her two children. Her son, 15, lives with his grandparents on another island altogether on West Sumatra

    Crossing borders, crossing faiths.

    "As we grow in our consciousness, there will be more compassion and more love, and then the barriers between people, between religions, between nations will begin to fall. Yes, we have to beat down the separateness.” – Ram Dass Every faith can be put into action. It's a simple statement that Habitat demonstrates every single day with our commitment to helping and working with everyone regardless of their backgrounds. It's also that same belief that compelled us to bring toget

    Healthy Home, Healthy Life: Mr Bahtarim

    Mr Bahtarim, together with his wife and 3-year-old son, in front of their completed Habitat house (April 2018) If the home is a building block for a better life, Mr Bahtarim’s family have built a home beyond their dreams and climbed several rungs up the ladder towards securing a more stable, healthier future. Back in August 2017 when a team of Singapore volunteers first met Mr Bahtarim in Batam, the site where his future house stood was a typical construction site. A tarp hun
