Tithe
In accordance with the Biblical model of tithing, all Habitat affiliates give 10% of undesignated gifts to one of the 65 countries in which Habitat for
Humanity is active.
For every dollar tithed to Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity:
- 25% goes to Ethiopia
- 25% goes to Haiti
- 25% goes to Guatemala
- 25% goes to Habitat for Humanity’s Disaster Risk Reduction and Response program
Ethiopia
Located in the eastern coast of the continent of Africa, only 30% of Ethiopia’s current housing stock is in fair condition (the other 70% in need of total replacement). Only 49% of Ethiopians have access to safe drinking water and only 21% of the population has access to adequate sanitation. Habitat for Humanity Ethiopia focuses on housing, water and sanitation services, and urban slum upgrading. For more information, visit Habitat for Humanity Ethiopia.
Haiti
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, with 80% of the population living on less than US$2 per day. The 2010 earthquake destroyed 105,000 homes and damaged another 190,000. Of the more than 2 million survivors, more than 1.5 million were left homeless. Habitat for Humanity Haiti’s work encompasses new home construction, community rebuilding, and land reform advocacy.
