We would like to welcome Habitat for Humanity India from India as a new SuSanA partner organisation!

The following text is taken from their application form and was written by the partner organisation themselves.

Description and Activities in Sustainable Sanitation:

Habitat for Humanity India (HFH India) is part of Habitat for Humanity International - a global non-governmental organization that seeks to eliminate poverty housing guided by the vision, "A world where everyone has a decent place to live". Habitat India began operations in 1983 and is today one of Habitat for Humanity International's largest programs in the Asia pacific region.

The organization has an active presence in 20 states and works in partnership with local, grassroots, non-governmental organizations and micro finance institutions throughout India to provide improved housing and sanitation solutions. HFH India's areas of focus are housing, sanitation, disaster response and access to water. Sanitation is closely related to housing and well-being. In 2012 HFH India began working towards providing improved access to sanitation facilities.
