HOUSING NEEDS Unsafe and inadequate housing is a major problem faced by tribal people of Karjat block. Houses with thatched roofing, week foundations and flooring with mud and cow dung are typical conditions of the houses and they require frequent repairs. Open defecation is vastly prevalent due to lack of awareness on sanitation and hygiene and absence of sanitation facilities.

REBUILDING AND TRASNFORMING LIVES IN KARJAT…! Habitat for Humanity India has been working in Karjat since 2006 and has impacted many lives by building homes, sanitation units and by providing water wheels to the families in need.

Education and advocacy goals Apart from housing, low level of education and high school dropout rates are very common among tribal children. Computer education as well as higher education is generally given low priority. Most of the schools in rural areas and they either do not have computer facilities for learning and training or the existing facilities are insufficient. Or the higher education there are very few collages available. Importance of education, health and hygiene problems are the core issue one need to emphasis on.

With your help, Habitat for Humanity is determined to create a world where everyone has a decent place to live. THANK YOU!
