Strengthening land rights
can offer a solid foundation for

stability.

Based on Nepal’s 2021 national census, 3 in 4 women do not possess either housing or land in their name. Habitat for Humanity Nepal works with families to promote joint land ownership and land literacy and calls for inclusive land and housing policies.

What we do

Since 1997, Habitat for Humanity has worked with more than 200,000 families to build or improve the place they call home. Our strategic partnerships include:

Leveraging government funds

With the funds leveraged from the government, every dollar invested with Habitat Nepal attracts an additional US$3, thereby tripling our impact in the community.

Protecting women's land rights

In line with the government’s efforts, we promote the joint registration of both spouses’ names on property titles on homes built in partnership with families. 

Climate smart-housing

We encourage families to adopt disaster-resilient, environmentally sustainable building materials and technology featured on the Nepal government’s list as being suitable for earthquake and flood-prone areas in the country

Volunteering for development

International and local volunteers contribute to  Habitat Nepal’s work of building or improving homes by partnering with local communities.

Financial inclusion

We strengthen the housing microfinance sector by building  partners’ capacity and help low-income rural families increase their access to housing microfinance services and improve financial literacy.

Empowering youth

Youth are an important force for social change. Through training and engagement, young people become champions for adequate, affordable housing.
