How does a community start a Habitat affiliate?
Starting a new affiliate in a community takes time, local resources and local volunteers. In countries where Habitat is established, the national office offers training and support to interested communities. The process of affiliation may take from six months to two years and requires local initiative and local fund-raising. In new countries, where Habitat is not currently operating, interested individuals, organizations or community groups should contact the Africa and Middle East area office in Pretoria, South Africa for further information.
