Every family deserves to live in stability
Out of the 6 million families living in Sri Lanka only 5.2 million families have some form of housing. This highlights the fact that nearly 800,000 families live in extreme poverty in Sri Lanka and do not have a safe place to call home. This is the need Habitat for Humanity tries to address.

The Brick by Brick Campaign is a fundraising campaign launched by Habitat for Humanity Sri Lanka which seeks to match donors with families in urgent need of a safe place to call home. This unique funding model enables Habitat Sri Lanka to support vulnerable and marginalized families by matching them with donors who are interested in sponsoring a home for a family in need. A donation of LKR 1,200,000.00 will enable Habitat Sri Lanka to provide these families with incremental home.

Help us provide these families with a hand-up in life. We believe that HOME is the key to better health, education, sanitation, empowerment, stability, self-reliance and safety for the girl child. To these vulnerable families living in poverty housing, your support means a chance at a better life.
Sponsor a family in need of a safe place to call home.
