Habitat for Humanity Ireland

Founded in 1993, Habitat for Humanity Ireland is a charity based in Drogheda, Ireland working on housing & homelessness, international development, poverty & hunger +5 more.

Habitat for Humanity Ireland is the Irish arm of Habitat for Humanity, a Christian housing organisation that works to ensure everyone has a decent place to live. In Ireland it runs the House to Home programme, which helps vulnerable people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to sustain tenancies by making their house a home, and operates a network of Habitat ReStores in Ireland and Northern Ireland. The ReStores sell donated new and used building and home improvement materials at low cost, provide OCN-accredited training and employability support, and divert material from landfill. Habitat Ireland also runs volunteer programmes, schools and youth engagement, church partnerships and a policy advocacy programme on safe, secure housing. Internationally, it raises funds for long-term partner programmes in more than 60 countries, focusing on themes such as peace building, orphans and vulnerable children, water and sanitation, urbanisation and disaster response. The organisation works from offices in Drogheda and Lisburn.
