Millard and Linda Fuller, along with Jordan, had a unique approach to helping people build homes through Habitat for Humanity International. They decided to provide loans without charging interest, making their partnership houses more affordable. The homes were designed to be simple, small, eco-friendly, and affordable. By relying on donations and volunteer work, they were able to kickstart their project successfully. Their efforts expanded to Africa, where they aimed to build homes for needy families. The move was successful, leading to the construction of over 3,000 homes by 2007. Their return to the US saw the founding of Habitat for Humanity International, which aimed to bring partnership housing to locations worldwide, resulting in the construction of hundreds of homes within five years.

Former President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn contributed to Habitat for Humanity’s growth by volunteering to build new homes, which garnered attention from the media. Their involvement led to an increase in volunteers and donations. Habitat for Humanity saw substantial growth as more volunteers from various backgrounds joined the cause. The organization’s efforts resulted in the construction of thousands of homes worldwide, supported by initiatives like Habitat ReStores, which sell donated building materials at low prices to fund further homebuilding. Habitat for Humanity’s innovative strategies, including annual events like building blitzes, attracted volunteers globally, culminating in the construction of over 500,000 homes by 2011.
