Carmelita, an 8 year old from Tamaulipas, Mexico, once feared that her fragile family home would collapse around her family. Living under a makeshift shelter made of tarps and cardboard, they endured constant rain, flooding and relentless mosquitoes. But with the help of Habitat for Humanity, their home has been transformed into a secure, sturdy refuge with solid walls, windows, and a leak-proof roof. Now, Carmelita and her loved ones can rest easy, safe and protected: https://ow.ly/Ekpe50T4fZs #HabitatForHumanity #SafeHomes #GlobalImpact #Mexico Hábitat para la Humanidad México

Heartbreaking new figures show that 151,630 children are now living in temporary accommodation, as the number of households in these precarious situations has surged to 117,450. Even more concerning, over 5,500 families are stuck in B&Bs (bed and breakfast's), often beyond the legal 6-week limit. With so many empty public buildings across the country, we have the resources to help but only if we act now. A united effort is needed to provide both temporary and permanent homes: https://lnkd.in/e52Tjd7M #ESTHer #EmptySpacesToHomes #HousingCrisis #UKHousing

On International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, we honour and celebrate indigenous communities across the globe. Indigenous Peoples make up less than 6% of the global population but represent at least 15% of the extremely poor. They occupy or use approximately 22% of the world’s land area, which includes 28% of the Earth's surface and 11% of the world’s forests. As vital guardians of our planet, they protect much of the remaining global biodiversity. Their traditional food systems are notably self-sufficient, generating 50-80% of their food and resources. Numbering between 370-500 million, Indigenous Peoples are the keepers of a rich cultural diversity, speaking the majority of the planet’s estimated 7,000 languages and representing around 5,000 distinct cultures. Despite their significant contributions and cultural richness, many face marginalisation, extreme poverty and human rights violations.

The latest homelessness stats from UK government show a stark reality, 117,450 households are in temporary accommodation as of March 2024, a 12.3% rise from last year This highlights the desperate and growing need local authorities and housing associations have for permanent and temporary homes. With thousands of publicly owned commercial properties sitting vacant, empty spaces should be a bigger part of the solution. We’ve shown how it can be done, now it's time for a coordinated local and national effort to deliver real change: https://lnkd.in/dDUsrgVi #ESTHer #EmptySpacesToHomes #HousingCrisis Habitat for Humanity Europe & Middle East

Habitat for Humanity Great Britain reposted this
I’ve always believed that success is a result of the quality - not the amount - of time we put in. So this week I encouraged my exceptionally busy team to spend quality time together away from our desks to reflect on our purpose and priorities and to challenge and inspire each other . We spent the first part of the session in the marketing suite of 40 Leadenhall street - M&G Real Estate’s new 900,000 sq ft development in the heart of the city of London which is targeting a raft of accreditations including BREEAM excellent, Well Platinum and NABERS 5*. Here we developed a roadmap to help us keep productive and on track with our priorities . We also pretended to be an asset manager faced with tough choices. What ESG improvements should they prioritise? How can we better guide them ? But my favourite challenge involved selecting every day items to best represent how we want to be perceived by other teams. A delightfully eclectic collection of objects emerged including a shoe horn, a nut cracker, a battery, a toy digger, a can opener and a spider’s web . Together these symbolise strength, utility, vitality, pragmatism, simplicity and efficacy - all vital values and characteristics needed to be an effective and impactful ESG team in a world of increasing complexity, competing demands, and an array of reporting, compliance , data and operational issues. The message being clear - we must work with intention and smarter to elevate ourselves or risk being seen to be stuck in the weeds. The objective for the second half of the offsite was to complete a team challenge that would help others. For this part, we spent several hours at Habitat for Humanity International’s workshop in Dagenham upcycling and transforming various pieces of unloved furniture into something unique and beautiful for those less fortunate. M&G plc has been working with this amazing charity for several years now, supporting its Empty Spaces to Homes project which seeks to alleviate the housing crisis by converting vacant, derelict premises in to good quality housing . We came away extremely hot, totally exhausted, absolutely filthy but full to the brim with inspiration and gratitude. Days like these only require a small investment in one’s time but the value they bring to employees , our clients and society is incalculable. Thank you to my amazing team for making me laugh and giving it their all and to the wonderful people at Habitat for Humanity for empowering us to make a small difference.
