Habitat's Tithe Program: WE GIVE BACK!

The word "tithe" comes from the tradition in which people of certain faiths would donate ten percent of their income to their religious institution. Through Habitat's tithe program, Habitat partners are encouraged to donate a tenth of what they raise in support of house building in another country, encouraging all programs to participate in the international effort to eliminate global poverty by sending a portion of what is raised in their home country elsewhere.

In times of financial crisis, the tithe program holds us together in firm, mutual, and often long-term support. It doesn't take much to have a measurable impact. For instance:

$5	Buys a bag of cement in Vietnam
$20	Pays for a toilet in Egypt
$50	Provides drinkable water to a village family in Tajikistan
$100	Funds the electricity for a home in Guatemala
$300	Funds all the walls in a home in Ghana
$400	Pays for a tin roof in Haiti
$800	Paints 16 homes in the Philippines

Rutherford County Area Habitat for Humanity donates a portion of unrestricted funds as a tithe to help other Habitat affiliates across the world. Over the past year, we have divided our tithe between three countries:

Thailand	Funds assisted in ongoing tsunami recovery.
Madagascar	Over 90% of urban residents in this country live in slum communities. Prone to flooding and cyclones, slums often become cesspools of stagnant water, sewage & malaria-carrying mosquitoes. HFH Madagascar enlarges pathways and installs drainage systems, constructs public toilets, laundry and water points as well as building homes.
Cameroon	This country is experiencing rapid population growth and urbanization. People migrate here in hope of finding employment, but find very high property prices and overcrowded rental units (2-6 people per room). In desperation, many resort to using recycled waste materials to build makeshift shelters. Nearly 4 out of every 10 live on less than $1 per day. Through community based partnerships, HFH Cameroon secures land and provides affordable housing options.
Uganda	In 2012, we will be sending a portion of our tithe to this country. Conflict in this region has resulted in instability and displaced people, alongside the effects of HIV/AIDS, malaria and poor health care. This has resulted in the orphaning of around 45% of Ugandan children. Extreme poverty is another problem. 38% of the population lives in grass thatched huts. HFH Uganda helps secure land and build homes. They also include training in health and other relevant life skills for the families.
