Our mission is to provide affordable home ownership for low-income people, so as to empower them to improve their social and economic future.

Prince Edward Island is Canada’s smallest province in both area and population (140,000). The crescent shaped Island is only 224 km long and ranges in width from 6 to 64 km. The Island’s landscape is pastoral. Rolling hills, woods, reddish white sand beaches, ocean coves and the famous red soil have given PEI a reputation as a province of outstanding natural beauty and an ideal place for mixed farming. It is renowned for its unique red soil, excellent potatoes, seafood, vast sand dunes and 800 km of pristine beaches.

Habitat for Humanity PEI has provided 48 families with safe, decent and affordable housing since 1999. There are approximately 5000 people living in need of simple, decent and affordable housing in PEI. Our goal is to serve up to 10 to 12 families per year….and your support and the help from our volunteers— we will do it!

Global Village is Habitat for Humanity’s international volunteer program. Teams travel to over 40 countries to work alongside communities, build housing solutions, and experience local culture. Our goal is to change the lives of the people we serve, as well as the lives of the volunteers.

About Habitat for Humanity International 

Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort on a community farm in southern Georgia. The housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in more than 1,300 communities throughout the U.S. and in more than 70 countries. Families and individuals in need of a hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Through financial support, volunteering or adding a voice to support affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Through shelter, we empower. To learn more, visit habitat.org.
