Celebrating 30 Years of Service with Habitat for Humanity

Clive Rainey, first Habitat for Humanity volunteer and longtime staff member, knows firsthand what commitment to service means. Rainey frequently speaks about Habitat on college campuses, for affiliate gatherings and before service organizations all over the world, inspiring affiliates to build more houses faster.

Along the way, he has built houses in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo; helped construct the first building in Uganda after the fall of the Idi Amin regime, a two-room house for a widow; and spent time as Habitat’s first area director for Africa. Building homes with Habitat is a way to make hope tangible.

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit Christian housing ministry that works both to eliminate poverty housing around the world and to make adequate housing a matter of conscience and action. Habitat welcomes to the table partners from any faith – or from no faith – who are willing to pick up a hammer to help improve the lives of families needing decent shelter. The organization started in the United States in 1976, and today its work reaches around the globe.

Admission is free.
