Habitat for Humanity Auckland supports families and individuals in housing need from Warkworth to the Bombays. Established in 1994 we are the oldest Habitat affiliate and run our build programmes with a small core staff based in Otara. We are supported each year by hundreds of volunteers, whose energy and commitment help us build and renovate homes, run our office and help with fundraising events. At our site in Otara volunteers also help run our second hand goods store ReStore. This outlet sells quality second hand goods and building materials while helping us to raise funds for our housing projects.
Get Involved
We are currently building 11 homes at Wymondley Road, Otara which should be finished by August 2011. From there we plan to build four homes at Hall Avenue, Mangere that will take us well into 2012.
We also run a home renovation and repair project named A Brush with Kindness. This project supports families struggling to maintain their own homes with affordable loans and a predominantly volunteer labour force.
We require no previous building experience to help on our builds. Our site is run by building supervisors Mike and Titia who will always be happy to support you in learning new skills and get building.
