About Our Team

This island country southeast of India is known for its natural tropical beauty. It has made steady progress since the opening of its economy in 1977, but poor families have seen few of the benefits. Development efforts have been hampered by three decades of civil war. Meanwhile, the country is still rebuilding from the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.

More than 4 million Sri Lankans are estimated to live below the poverty line, with about half a million of them residing in slums and shanties.

Habitat for Humanity began operating in Sri Lanka in 1994, and today a series of Habitat Resource Centers support local projects. Habitat is one of the country’s largest homebuilders after the government.

About Global Village

Global Village is Habitat for Humanity’s international volunteer program. Teams travel to over 40 countries to work alongside communities, build housing solutions, and experience local culture. Our goal is to change the lives of the people we serve, as well as the lives of the volunteers.
