Although Susi and Dave have done most of their affordable housing work in their hometown of Columbus, Ohio, they found themselves driven to lead nine Global Village teams down a road less traveled to help bring safe, decent housing solutions to people worldwide.

"Why not just build at home?" you ask. "We do!" they answer, "and then when it's time for a vacation, we extend community to encompass the globe."

When you are ready for the vacation of a lifetime, join a Habitat for Humanity Global Village team! You will experience the excitement of volunteering side-by-side with families, the thrill of exploring new cultures beyond the tourist facade, and the satisfaction of building houses that enable dreams to unfold into rich new lives.

Working near home

In 2014, Dave was thrilled to complete his twelfth Habitat house in Central Ohio with the Parker family, the Duxberry 2014 project. It's always exciting to intermix overseas work with another great local adventure!

Habitat leads the way

In 2014, Habitat for Humanity was recognized as the 1970's housing innovation of the decade in Builder Magazine's article Housing Answers the Call. Three years earlier, the same magazine listed Habitat for Humanity as the sixth largest home builder in the United States in 2010. Read the HFHI release for context and a link to the article.
