Habitat for Humanity and the One Foundation invite you to join us as part of a team of 200 volunteers – including One Foundation’s founder Jet Li! – building in Zhuyuan Town, Qingchuan County, Sichuan, China from September 2 - 5, 2010. As a HFH‐OF Builder, you will work alongside others from around China and the world committed to ensuring families in need have a decent place to call “home”. This special effort will mark the final Wenchuan Earthquake housing reconstruction project for Habitat for Humanity, and celebrate China’s unprecedented effort to meet the needs of Wenchuan disaster victims and help provide safe and prosperous futures for the families of Sichuan.

Working with the Sichuan Province Qingchuan County Government and Zhuyuan Township Government, HFH China will partner with One Foundation to organize a post‐disaster home volunteer build, improving the living conditions of 120 families, 334 persons affected by the May 12, 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake.

 

About New Hope Build

HFH will join the Zhuyuan Township government in completing a final phase of post‐disaster reconstruction, by helping construct simple, decent, affordable homes for the 120 dislocated families in a new site at Zhuyuan’s Liangshaba village. The site development and public facilities at the relocation site will be financed by the local government, and the cost of house‐building will be composed of government post‐disaster construction subsidies, family self‐financing and a contribution from Habitat for Humanity.

The New Hope Build project site is slated to break ground in late June of 2010, with construction completed before the end of 2010 so families may move into their new homes prior to the 2011 Spring Festival.

Habitat for Humanity In China

HFH China was established in 2000 to address the need for decent and affordable housing. It has offices in Kunming, Guangzhou, Nanning, Chengdu, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Habitat for Humanity primarily works in rural areas in China where homes are often made of unsafe structures.

The Jet Li One Foundation, under a strategic partnership with the Red Cross Society of China, works independently to build a sustainable, professional, and trustworthy foundation platform to encourage social sector development and bring out mass participation in philanthropic giving and volunteerism.
