MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTORS
Without ventilation or natural lighting, with leaks and infiltra-tions, with holes in the floor and a bathroom without plum-bing…that is how Katia lived for 30 years in a house in the community of Heliopolis, in the city of São Paulo. A house that she could not call a home. Until she met Habitat for Hu-manity Brazil. It doesn’t matter who we are or where we came from. Every person has the right to a life with dignity. Every one of us de-serves to feel strong and safe on a daily basis. Every one of us deserves to know that we have the power to take care of ourselves and build our own futures. Because you, me, Katia – we are all human beings. And we each deserve the oppor-tunity of having a decent place to call home. That is why, during the year of 2017, we strengthened our ser-vice to reach even more families in Brazil. Despite the challen-ging economic and political scenario that our country faces, we were able to overcome obstacles and, with the support of our partners in the private sector, civil society, movements, institutions and governments, we impacted the lives of 4,095 people who now live in a more decent home and have the opportunity of building a better future for their families.
We invite you to get to know all of the projects and activi-ties that we developed and most importantly, the stories of incredible people like Katia who worked with us during this year in which we celebrated our 25th anniversary. To all who were a part of this trajectory, our deepest gratitu-de! We hope we can continue to count on your support, trust and joint efforts. It is with great satisfaction that we present Habitat for Humanity Brazil’s 2017 Activities Report. We hope you enjoy reading through it and hope that we can continue to work together in years to come!
With warm regards,

WHO WE AREHabitat for Humanity Brazil is a non-profit non-governmental organization who works to ensure that families in poverty and extreme poverty have access to decent adequate housing. Our mission in Brazil began in 1992 and since then we have developed projects in 11 states and served over 76 thousand people in building or renovating their homes as well as providing access to potable water in rural areas that suffer with droughts, all of whi-ch are fundamental factors towards transforming lives. For over 10 years we have also worked in democratic spaces to propo-se and advocate for public policies for right to housing. We also conduct workshops and skill buildings to strengthen women, youths, leaderships and communities. Through volunteerism and awareness raising, we strive to involve society in supporting the right to housing and right to the city. We are part of the Habitat for Humanity international network, founded in the United States in 1976 and who has since served over 10 million peo-ple in 70 countries.

OUR CAUSESo many homeless people, so many peopleless homes
Over 6.35 million families in Brazil do not have a house to live in. This means over 30 million people do not have a roof over their heads. Our cities in Brazil present some of the highest rates of social inequality in the world as well as the most expen-sive cost per square meter in Latin America. To-day, over 50 million Brazilians live in poverty. With no condition of paying rent, they settle in occupa-tions and informal communities. Housing, health and childhood
In Brazil, over 18 million houses do not have ac-cess to adequate sewage systems. This repre-sents 32.9% of the houses in the country. 17.3 million children and teens in Brazil with ages ran-ging from 0 to 14 years of age are living in poverty, in favelas and informal communities.
05Bad housing conditions can cause parasitic infections in children and consequently affect their learning development. Infectious dise-ases and respiratory infections are the 2nd and 3rd main causes of childhood mortality in the country. 72.1% of absences in scho-ol are caused by health problems. 43.2% of students who do not do their homework pro-perly present problems with performance in school. When housing is a privilege, occupying is a right
Thousands of communities and occupations in Brazil are under threat of eviction. This me-ans that millions of Brazilians are under risk of losing their homes without a solution that guarantees the right to adequate housing. By 2024, Brazil will have a demand of over 1 million new houses per year over the following 6 years. Currently there are 7.9 million emp-
ty buildings in Brazil. 6.89 million of these are in conditions of being occupied for housing. We work with hundreds of civil society entities to propose and implement public policies to pro-mote social interest housing, repairs and reno-vations and building new houses.

WE BUILD IMPACT IN COMMUNITIES06
Housing is a key factor to ensure good health as well as the development of families and communities. For thou-sands of people, especially boys and girls living in poverty, improving housing can be the boost towards living healthily and not being sick; being successful in school and not facing learning challenges; being prosperous and not staying stuck in the cycle of poverty; or even securing a life with quality and avoiding a premature death. We develop projects for building new homes, improving precarious houses in urban communities and providing solu-tions for access to potable water in rural regions in order to support a full development of impoverished families in Brazil.
9
BUILDING HOUSESProducing Adequate Housing
Since 2010, we have built full new houses, which also include infrastructure for water and sewage systems and community equipment. This is done through a government program called Minha Casa, Minha Vida (My House, My Life). In the program, one of the modalities is for civil society entities who are responsible for coordinating all stages of the project, including the construction and social work with the families served. We served over 4,000 people and built over 1,200 houses over the past eight years through this program. Beyond construction, we also developed activities to strengthen communities as well as workshops in themes that range from family entrepreneurship, to budget planning, female empowerment and environmental education.

URBAN HOME RENOVATIONSHabitat in the Community
We have worked in the community of Heliopolis, located in the city of São Pau-lo, since 2012, transforming precarious houses into safe and healthy homes so that families may develop themselves and build a new future. In this community, our work includes renovating houses through affordable loans and donations as well as offering constructive and social technical assistance. We also work to empower community members through workshops on healthy housing and financial literacy.

A Ray of Sunshine for MayaraA ray of sunshine enters through the terrace of the second floor and shines on Mayara, a 24-year-old wo-man living in the community of Heliopolis, the largest favela of São Paulo and one of the largest favelas in Latin America. Mayara was born with hydrocephalus and because of this, lives with physical limitations and uses a wheel chair to get around. Her mother Regina, who is 47 years old, takes care of her and helps her get her daily tasks done. Mayara’s father died when she was still a child. Until recently, Mayara’s house did not provide her with adequate living conditions. Through a great deal of ef-fort, her mother was able to build a house with a kit-chen, bathroom and bedroom. However, the bedroom is on the second floor of the house and the bathroom on the first floor. Every day, Regina went up and down the stairs with Mayara in her arms. “Ever since my dau-ghter was born, I have lived on my own to care for her 24 hours a day. I spent the entire day carrying her up and down to bathe her, feed her, take her to her whee-
lchair. I have always worked in order to support us both and I have had a very hard life with many challenges”, ex-plains Regina. In 2017, Regina and Mayara joined Habitat Brazil and through the partnership and support of Benefit, we were able to bring a ray of sunshine into their lives. “Finding Habitat was the best thing that has ever happened in our lives. It made me rescue my dream and hope of having a comfortable and pleasant home to live in. Today I am much happier and so grateful for the transformation that the Habitat and Benefit project brought to our lives”, says Regina. The repairs and renovations made in the house had a goal of providing accessibility and facilitating Mayara’s life. We changed the level of the kitchen’s floor, placed a handrail on the stairs and, of course, built a bathroom in the second floor of the house with a door and iron rails. Now Regina can care for her daughter with more comfort and Maya-ra can enjoy some sunlight in a ventilated space, without having to go down the stairs. “It was thanks to Habitat’s support that we were able to have these improvements in our house. It was a transformation for my family. We are very happy, satisfied and relieved with the renovations. It was a dream come true”, thanks Regina.

URBAN HOME RENOVATIONSThe Future Begins at Home
Since 2011, this project has promoted repairs and renovations for families living in poverty and who have children and youths living in precarious houses in the cities of Recife (State of Pernambuco) and Candeias (State of Bahia). The goal of the project is to contribute with the full development of these children, provi-ding them with a healthy and safe environment to live in, reducing the appearan-ce of diseases caused by an unclean environment and improving their academic performance. The renovations also include sustainable solutions to lower water and energy consumption in houses as well as naturally regulate temperatures inside the houses.

In the community of Vila Esperança, located in the metro-politan region of Salvador, lives a hard-working and close knit family. Since they were very young, Jeovânia and Luci-naldo have worked very hard to improve their lives. Born in a poor community where most of the families live with less than 300 dollars per month, beginning to work early is a rule. Even so, both had their minds set on growing. Lucinal-do and Jeovânia are part of a small group of people in Vila Esperança who managed to finish high school. Unfortunately, the local reality did not make it easy. Unab-le to find work in the formal job market, very limited in the region, they survived by taking odd jobs and working in the most varied way. Through great effort, they were able to build their home and over the years have invested every-thing they could to make it a safe, comfortable and welco-ming place. But the lack of resources was easy to see and feel. The house was very humid and had serious infiltration problems. The environment was stuffy, with almost no ven-tilation and many leaks. 06 years ago, the couple’s daugh-ter was born: Helen. Helen was a healthy baby but she quickly developed res-piratory problems due to mold and humidity in the house. To try to minimize her asthma attacks, Jeo and Lucinaldo
brought Helen to sleep in their room. The lack of maintenance took its toll in the structure of the house: the walls were dete-riorating, the roof began to give in and the floor was made of dirt because tiling was too expensive. Time passed and Helen grew and started to need more space to play in and healthily develop. In 2015, Habitat for Humanity Brazil was invited by Dow Bra-sil to bring a project for house repairs and renovations to the community of Vila Esperança. The project focused on helping families with children and youths to improve their living environ-ment. 30 families were served through this project, including Jeovania’s family. Through the project, Helen’s room was com-pletely renovated: the walls were plastered and painted; the flo-or was tiled; the roof was rebuilt with new shingles to ensure its safety; airways were open in order to reduce humidity and eli-minate mold. And Helen finally had her very own special place. Now she has a safe and spacious room where she can play, do her homework and sleep. Where she can have a healthy chil-dhood. She receives plenty of love, warmth, support and edu-cation from her parents. Now with a house that gives her com-fort, physical security and protection against diseases, she can thrive and grow towards a future with more opportunities.

RURAL HOME IMPROVEMENTSRural Home Improvements
Since 2012, we have worked to support families living in the semiarid Northeastern region of Brazil to have access to potable water in rural areas. This project serves people living in extreme poverty, earning an average of 125 dollars per month and who do not have access to water in their homes. We build concrete water tanks (cisterns) that hold up to 16 thousand liters of water in order to enable families to catch and store potable water in their backyards and eliminating the need to walk long distances on a daily basis, usually to fetch unsafe drinking water from lakes and water holes. All of the families served through this project also participate in Water Resource Management workshops to learn the correct practices that are necessary for maintaining the cistern and the stored water healthy.

Rain of Hope in the NortheastMrs. Josefa and Mr. Cicero are married and live in the city of Ria-cho das Almas with their children. Mrs. Josefa started working in the plantations when she was 15 years old. That is where she met Cicero, who is also an agricultural worker and who started working when he was 08 years old in order to help support his family when his father died. Like many children from that time, Josefa and Cicero were not able to go to school because they needed to work to help their families at home. They were also responsible for the task of fetching water every single day. Nei-ther of them know how to read and write and they never fi-nished elementary school. For this reason, their biggest dream is to see their children graduate and strive for a better life. In 2015, Mr. Cicero had a heart attack and since then has suffe-red with heart problems. Due to his health issues, he is no lon-ger able to work and the family income has drastically decrea-sed in the past years. To help with the bills, Mrs. Josefa started taking odd jobs: she sows buttons on shorts and pants and receives 15 cents for each piece of clothing. The work load of taking care of the house, of their kids, working, fetching water has been adding up, and this has started affecting her health.
Five years ago, the family registered with the Program for 1 Million Cisterns, a water access program developed by the Semiarid Association and made possible by Federal Govern-ment funding. But since 2015, this program has faced severe budget cuts like most of the social programs in the region. In 2017, a group of volunteers from the United States joined Habitat for Humanity Brazil to collaborate with the Water for Lives project by building 16-thousand-liter cisterns for 6 fa-milies in the city of Riacho das Almas. Mrs. Josefa and Mr. Cicero were one of the families selected and in just 5 days, their cistern was ready. The couple participated in the entire construction process along with the volunteers and techni-cal staff for the project. Now, with a full cistern, Mrs. Josefa gained 3 hours in her day to rest and dedicate energy to her family. Mr. Cicero continues to recover and is no longer at risk of contracting infections due to unhealthy water. He hopes to go back to work soon. The children are also healthier and continue going to school to achieve their dreams: finishing high school and graduating college to come back and help their community.

COMMUNITY STRENGTHENINGWe believe that building, renovating and repairing homes is just one step towards transforming the lives of thousands of families in Brazil. Families and communities only achieve full development when they are strengthened, trained and empowered to advocate for their rights and multiply knowledge. For this reason, in all of our programs and projects, families participate in workshops and skill buildings with various themes.
18 people trained in Water Resource Manage-ment
622 people trained in Financial Literacy
38 people trained in Healthy Housing
33 people trained in Environmental Education
253 women strengthened through Female Empowerment workshops

WE BUILD IMPACT IN THE SECTOR07
Securing right to housing and right to the city requires constant work, dedication and efforts from various partners and allies in the sector. Both for advocacy work in promoting public policies as for market development for low-income families, working in networks is essential to guaranteeing results that impact the over 6 million families in Brazil who have their right to housing denied.
18
ADVOCACYMapping Communities in Land Conflicts
This year, we conducted a mapping of communities and urban occupations that are at risk of eviction or removal in the State of Pernambuco. The study will be used to raise awareness and pressure the public power to implement strategies for mediation of land conflicts, with the goal of guaranteeing that millions of ho-meless families have their right to secure land tenure guaranteed in the commu-nities where they live as well as their right to decent housing met by the State.
73 communities under risk of eviction and repossession mapped in the State of Pernambuco.
30 meetings conducted with the Justice Tribune of Pernambuco.
01 meeting conducted within the National Forum for Urban Reform.

From Here I Won’t Leave, From Here No One Will Take MeVania has lived in the community of Passarinho for over 22 years and she is one of the many black women that are fighting for housing in the city of Recife. “I used to live next to a slope in a place cal-led Córrego José Barros with my four kids and my husband. We payed weekly rent and it was very dangerous over there. One time, my daughter sli-pped and fell down the slope”, recalls Vania, ex-plaining her desire to look for a new house. When she was 28 years old, Vania went searching for a better opportunity in Passarinho. At first, she rai-sed her house using materials that were unsuitab-le for the rain season in Recife – half of the house was covered with plastic bags. “For eight months every time it rained my husband and I had to hold up the roof of the house with a broomstick so that it wouldn’t fall into the house”, says Vania. It was only in 2015 that Vania managed to secure
the land title for her home through a judicial pro-cess, but there is still a large number of families li-ving in the community who are vulnerable to evic-tions. Passarinho was founded during the 1980s and houses over 25 thousand families who since 2007 have lived under the threat of a repossession case for the land where they have built their houses. The community first started when the government dis-tributed plots of land for around 500 families. But unlike Vania, there are still people in Passarinho who do not have secure land tenure and are still fighting to guarantee their right to housing. Founder of the Espaço Mulher Passarinho (Passari-nho Women’s Space), Vania and other members of the group work to strengthen black women in the community through various empowering activities, such as the Black Women’s Beauty Day, which ha-ppens in November. The Women’s Space was fou-nded by Vania with a group of friends and seeks to empower women in the community through a fe-minist antiracist perspective, through warmth and acknowledgement of themselves as black women who fight for the right to land and to housing.

ADVOCACY Urban Master Plan, Right to the City and Social Role of Property
In 2017, we worked to raise awareness in society about the struggle that millions of people face in order to guarantee their right to decent housing. We also worked to engage civil society in the construction of a fair and inclusive city. Focusing on the review of the Urban Master Plan of the city of Recife, which happens during the year of 2018, we helped found and joined the Articulação Recife de Luta, a network of over 30 civil society entities that are working to stimulate popular participation in the review process and bring proposals for the city’s development over the next 10 years.
01 letter written and signed by 20 entities and presented in the City Council of Recife, demanding a broader debate and more transparency during the review process of the Urban Master Plan of Recife.
01 formal complaint made to the Public Ministry of Pernam-buco on the lack of transparency in the review process of the Urban Master Plan of Recife and the lack of spaces for popu-lar participation

ADVOCACY Solid Ground
This project is aimed at producing a study on abandoned buildings in downtown Recife and creating proposals for renovating the buildings for social interest housing. The proposals created during the project will be used to advocate for public policies that promote housing in city centers as a way of lowering the housing deficit in Brazilian cities and giving a social function to the thousands of abandoned buildings in city centers.
22
STRENGTHENING SKILLS FOR FAIRER CITIESAs of 2016 we began working to empower social players to stand up for their rights and advocate for public policies for right to hou-sing and right to the city, with a special fo-cus on women living in communities with land conflicts. This was done through a Program for Building Skills on Right to the City and So-cial Role of Property. This project was con-cluded in 2017 with a national seminar and launch of a document gathering the metho-dology, results and lessons learned during the workshops.

PARTICIPATION IN FORUMS AND COUNCILSWe are actively involved in spaces for democratic discussion,
creating and defending proposals to change and improve po-
licies and systems that enable access to adequate affordable
housing for all people, especially those who are in most need.
In 2017, the Federal Government dismantled the National
Council of the Cities, one of the most important spaces for
democratic decision-making involving the urban development
of Brazil. We are against any measures taken to exclude civil
society from spaces for decision-making and we continue to
monitor the entire process and pressure the public power to
resume the Council’s activities.
IN THE PAST YEAR, WE PARTI-CIPATED IN THE FOLLOWING NETWORKS:

WE BUILD IMPACT IN SOCIETY08
Raising awareness in society on the importance of housing as a constitutional right is fundamental to gua-ranteeing access to decent housing in Brazil. We believe in the power that society has to promote change, be it by getting hands dirty to repair houses or build cisterns or by sharing valuable information that help fight prejudice against those who are struggling to guarantee their right to housing and to the city.
25
VOLUNTEERISMWe partner with volunteers to actively work with our cau-se. These volunteers fundraise, organize groups and get their hands dirty building and renovating with us.

“Volunteering with Habitat was a school of life
for me. Beyond getting to know their projects
internally and having a professional experien-
ce, I was able to see the change in the lives of
families who are frequently forgotten. As a citi-
zen, I became aware of issues that opened my
eyes, from a very basic right to housing to the
right to the city and how cities are built”

TRAVEL AND BUILD
In 2017 we launched our national volunteer pro-gram for groups. Schools, university students, companies or people who wish to get their hands dirty and help renovate houses or build cisterns for families in poverty can reach out to us to or-ganize a volunteer activity in one of the commu-nities where we work. We help the group prepare for the activity, which can be just 01 day or up to a full week. The group is responsible for fundraising the cost of the donation needed to sponsor the project as well as for logistics costs with accom-modations, meals and transportation.

““The entire process was really fun. It was hard work that was so worth it. We were able to make a huge difference in the lives of 6 families that did not have access to the most basic human right. Living this reality with the families, working side by side – it’s pri-celess”
Laura Landau, Habitat for Humanity Brazil volunteer in 2017.
In January 2017, a group of students and former students of the PUC-Rio University joined Habitat Brazil to support families in the northeastern region through the construction of cisterns for water catchment and storage with the Water for Lives project. The group held a crowdfunding campaign with a goal of raising BRL 60 thousand (approx. USD 18 thousand) to serve 6 fami-lies. They contacted their networks of friends and family and in just one month were able to achieve their goal. In April 2017, the group traveled to Riacho das Almas, a city in the interior of the state of Pernambuco to get their hands dirty and help build cis-terns for 4 of the 6 families their donation benefitted.

RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
The word ‘challenge’ represents well what the year of 2017 meant in terms of sustainability for Habitat for Humanity Brazil, and for every other organization that works in defense of human rights in the country.
In 2017, the changes in urban policies proposed by the new government and the grave setbacks expressed in the recent budget cuts in programs such as the My House, My Life program threatened the reach of the Sustainable Develop-ment Goals signed by Brazil, as well as the continuity of actions like the ones developed by Habitat Brazil in building new houses.
Since 2012, Habitat Brazil has managed to increase the scale of its work building new houses for underprivileged families thanks to resources from the Federal Government destined to not-for-profit entities registered to operate through the My House, My Life program. In 6 years, Habitat built 1,800 houses and directly served over seven thousand people in four different states of the country. In this current scenario, the organization has leant on the sustainability actions seeded in previous years.

Resource Development with Individual Donors
We have a team of 20 fundrai-
sers who work with direct con-
tact in the streets of São Paulo.
We also have a telemarketing
central and social media actions.
We closed the year of 2017 with
5 thousand individual donors.
Our goal is to reach 10 thousand
within the next 2 years.

Campaigns for Volunteerism
Any person can join the cause, set up a
fundraising campaign and help renova-
te houses for families living in poverty,
or even build cisterns in the northeas-
tern region. In 2017, 4 national volunte-
er campaigns and 2 international cam-
paigns were held.
35
Partnerships with Internatio-nal Organizations
International organizations, foun-
dations and agencies for coopera-
tion are another important source
of resources for Habitat Brazil, es-
pecially by investing in activities for
monitoring and advocating for pu-
blic policies. Over BRL 500 thousand
(approx. USD 150 thousand) were in-
vested in 2017.
