Habitat for Humanity of Effingham County, Georgia is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a non-profit ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing. Those in need purchase the homes and no interest is charged.
This Effingham County affiliate was founded by Morris Oglesby of Rincon and incorporated in 1996. The Habitat ReStore opened to the public in March of 2007.
Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. Partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor - "sweat equity" - into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more houses.
Habitat's mission is to eliminate poverty housing from the earth. Habitat has taken its vision of a world with no more shacks to 53 nations. To date, HFHI has completed more than 300,000 simple, decent, affordable houses around the globe.
