Projects
Global Village teams are fundraising to help support the following projects :
Smokeless Stoves for Habitat Guatemala
Preventing respiratory infections and reducing deforestation
The majority of poor Guatemalan families cook on open-fire stoves in their homes, using mostly firewood as fuel. This causes what the World Health Organization refers to as indoor air pollution, estimated to be responsible for 1.5 million deaths worldwide each year.

Building Homes and Hope in Haiti
Habitat has set a goal of serving 50,000 families over the next five years.
Habitat aims to serve 50,000 families in this earthquake-ravaged country over the next five years.
The need:
When a magnitude-7.0 earthquake struck near Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Jan. 12, 2010, the impact was catastrophic. About 105,000 homes were destroyed, and more than 208,000 were damaged. The situation worsened in the months that followed, as Haiti suffered through Hurricane Tomas, a cholera outbreak and post-election unrest. After these back-to-back disasters, the numbers of death and loss have only grown.
Beius, Romania
Bringing people together to help families living in difficult conditions.
In Beius and the surrounding area there are at least 200 families in desperate need of decent housing. These families are the working poor, those who grew up in orphanages, roma, single parent families and those with differing handicaps. Many of these families came to Beius due to forced migration in communist times or in search of work, and ended up in poor living conditions.

Help internally displaced people in Kenya
From tattered tents to decent houses, support Habitat's work in Kenya
More than 630,000 Kenyans were forced out of their homes in the violence that followed the 2007 election. Those families were placed in hastily constructed tent camps in an area called Maai Mahiu. Three years later, the families who remain there still have very few resources available to rebuild their lives.
