‘Diversity Builds Community’ - Advocacy Week 2008 10th–14th June
Habitat For Humanity Northern Ireland has designated Advocacy week to provide the opportunity for different groups to come together at our Mid-Shankill construction site. Over four separate days, we hope to break down barriers and build not just houses but community and hope. We have chosen this week to raise awareness and celebrate the contributions made by the many different cultures, which make up our communities in Northern Ireland.
‘Diversity Builds Community’ offers a unique opportunity for members of different communities to unite and work together to build a shared and sustainable future for everyone. We hope to bring together diverse groups of volunteers to get involved in the work of Habitat and help regenerate the Mid-Shankill area.
Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit, non-denominational Christian movement that welcomes to its work all people dedicated to eliminating poverty housing and making adequate, affordable shelter a matter of conscience and action. Since its founding in 1976, Habitat has built more than 230,000 houses worldwide, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than 1 million people.
In Northern Ireland our vision is to create a shared, safe, sustainable future; building houses; building communities; building hope, for people and communities locally and around the world through practical self help, volunteerism and skills and leadership development. Since 1996 Habitat for Humanity has brought together more than 10,000 volunteers to build over 60 homes alongside families, helping to transform 7 communities across Northern Ireland.
