Global Engagement

Every year Twin Cities Habitat “tithes” ten percent of all privately raised undesignated funds to support Habitat’s mission worldwide with a goal of eliminating poverty housing and homelessness. Since Twin Cities Habitat’s inception in 1985 more than $2.4 million has been pledged, making Twin Cities Habitat one of only a handful of affiliates to surpass the $2 million mark.  In 2011, Twin Cities Habitat tithed over $393,000–making Twin Cities Habitat the top “tither” of all Habitat affiliates in the world.

In 2010, Twin Cities Habitat made a four-year commitment to allocate its tithe to financially support Habitat for Humanity’s work in Mozambique, Costa Rica and Haiti.  In addition to financial support, Twin Cities Habitat is sending groups of participants to volunteer with Habitat in Mozambique, Costa Rica, and Haiti on an annual basis.  If you would like to be contacted when we start recruiting volunteers for these trips, please email globalvillage@tchabitat.org. We invite you read below and learn about how Twin Cities Habitat is changing lives in Mozambique, Costa Rica and Haiti. Watch a short video about our Global Village trips here.
