Visit to Monfort Youth Training Centre (MYTC) 20th Feb 08


One of the ways you can volunteer to Habitat is to share what you already know about us with others. Tell them that Habitat has a partnership program to build homes with volunteer workers. You may know a deserving soul somewhere out there. All you got to do is to make a phone call. They can apply for a Habitat home. Application form is available from our office (Call 088-259089).

Habitat KK visits Kolej Yayasan Sabah 30 Jan 08


Habitat for Humanity is a partnership program. We build homes with volunteer workers. Habitat KK constantly visits corporates and organisations to brief and provide awareness of our activities and programs. Shown here is our visit to Kolej Yayasan Sabah on 30th Jan 2008 when we briefed them about our research into new building technologies to cut costs and improve efficiency. Currently, we are working closely with Habitat Philippines to learn about their successful building using CIB (Concrete Interlocking Block). We invite organizations to join hands with us to bring in these proven building technologies for our home build in Sabah. Interested organizations can contact us at +6088-259089 or via our email at habitatkk@gmail.com to receive more details.
