Habitat for Humanity China currently works in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan Provinces in China, as well as in Hong Kong.

In view of the need to reduce poverty housing, Habitat for Humanity began operations in 2000 in Kunming, capital of Yunnan, also one of China’s poorest provinces. In 2004, new offices were initiated in neighboring Guangxi and Guangdong provinces. The Guangxi office, based in the provincial capital Nanning, is the result of a strategic partnership with the Guangxi Poverty Alleviation Development Office and the Guangxi Disabled Persons’ Federation; the Guangdong office, based in the provincial capital Guangzhou, was set up as a result of a partnership with the Guangzhou Disabled Persons’ Federation.
In January 2006, Habitat merged its operations in Hong Kong and China into a single entity. The move aimed to leverage on the resources and business acumen of Asia’s premier international city to promote Habitat’s mission of providing decent housing for those in need in the world’s largest developing economy.
