Habitat for Humanity International is an organization that was founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller. The Fullers, inspired by their visit to the small Christian community of Koinonia Farm, embarked on their own quest to provide housing for all who deserved and desired it. According to Habitat, it was the founding Fullers who developed the concept of ‘partnership housing,’ which hinged on the idea of those in need of adequate shelter working side by side with volunteers to build simple, decent houses.
