How Sponsoring a Home Works
While providing housing, clean water, sanitation, and transportation takes careful planning and hard work, we believe sponsoring a project should be simple. Here’s what you can expect in three easy steps:
#1
Your Gift, Our Promise
Your donation of $5,000* sponsors a whole home, including a tap to access clean water, a latrine for safe sanitation, and bike for transportation. These holistic supports lay the groundwork for better health, education, and economic opportunity.
#2
We Send Your Gift Where the Need is Greatest
After you donate, your gift goes to a vetted community where the need is urgent. With the help of trusted local partners, a family is carefully identified. The family helps build their own home, taking an active role in shaping their future. Every day, they feel the love behind your gift - in the safety of their shelter, the clean water they drink, and the hope that begins to grow.
#3
We Share the Journey
While the work is underway, you’ll be part of the story. Through The Impact Journal, social media, and email updates, we’ll keep you connected every step of the way.
You may not be swinging a hammer or mixing cement, but your love is in every brick. Your sponsorship becomes a thread in the fabric of a family’s future, and we want you to see that transformation unfold.
#4
Your Impact Report
Once construction is complete, we’ll share your Impact Report with photos, location details, and the story of the difference you’ve helped make.
Sponsor a Home
The Power of ONE.
One church. One business. One community group. One act of love that changes everything.
At Shelter Equity, we believe in the power of one - because one home can be the moment everything changes for a family. Multiply the power of one, and love becomes unstoppable.
When churches, businesses, and community groups come together, the impact doesn’t just grow, it ripples. One home becomes ten. Ten become hundreds, and with every build, a new story of safety, of healing, of hope begins.
This is how communities rise. This is how poverty is fought. This is how love builds what lasts.
Sponsor a home. Be the power of one.
Our Path to Impact
When you sponsor a home, your donation provides:
A sustainable, climate resilient, and regionally tailored home. We believe a safe, secure home is the first step in fighting poverty.
Access to clean water and sanitation. No one should get sick from the water they drink or the lack of a safe place to go to the bathroom.
A bicycle. This simple mode of transportation opens the door to school, work, and resources needed to thrive.
