Habitat for Humanity Philippines (HFHP) is
a non-profit organization that serves Filipino families in need of decent
homes. We bring together partners who share the same vision of transforming
lives through building responsible and sustainable communities. Habitat for
Humanity Philippines (Habitat) has launched its latest initiative: ‘The Plus
Can Project’, alongside the organization’s celebrity Ambassador, Derek Ramsay,
last August 3 at the Habitat national office.
The Plus Can has a unique coin slot in the
shape of a plus sign (+), illustrating that by getting involved everyone can be
a ‘plus’ to humanity. This latest fundraising project of Habitat aims to
encourage more support towards the housing advocacy in improving the poverty
housing situation of the country.
“The Plus Can means more homes for the
homeless, more decent shelter for survivors of disaster, more permanent
dwellings for the displaced and more productive communities for our nation. It
is also a reminder that we are all part of a larger family — the Filipino
family,” Ramsay said.
According to Mr. Charlie Ayco, Habitat
Managing Director and CEO, “There is a housing backlog of more than five
million families in the Philippines, and in order for this to be addressed
everyone needs to take action. The Plus Can is one way Habitat aims to reach individuals
from all sectors to support our advocacy of building more healthy and
sustainable homes for families in need.”
