Hábitat para la Humanidad México

What Hábitat para la Humanidad México does

Hábitat para la Humanidad México, A.C. is a nonprofit civil association founded in 1989 and headquartered in the Benito Juárez borough of Mexico City. It is the Mexican affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a network present in more than 70 countries, and operates as the largest housing-focused nonprofit organization in the country. Its mission is to advance the right to adequate housing and sustainable community habitat improvement through a community-based, participatory model.

The organization's core offering is the Programa de Vivienda (Housing Program), which delivers construction, improvement, and rehabilitation of adequate housing for low-income families. This core is supported by integrated program modules: Ecotecnias (eco-technologies for sustainable building), Agua y Saneamiento (community WASH infrastructure), Respuesta a Desastres (disaster response reconstruction), and a Programa de Créditos y Ahorros (community savings and housing microcredit). Programs operate primarily in Chiapas, Chihuahua, Estado de México, Guanajuato, Tlaxcala, and Veracruz, with WASH reach extending into Guerrero and Puebla. Since 1989, the organization reports 86,000 housing solutions delivered across 3,500+ communities and 1,482,780 persons served (in conjunction with the Centro Terwilliger de Innovación en Vivienda), with 45,000+ national and international volunteers mobilized. The 2025 Lekil'Na project in San Cristóbal de las Casas extended the model to Tzotzil indigenous communities using culturally appropriate, sustainable materials.

Hábitat para la Humanidad México generates revenue exclusively through donations — tax-deductible contributions from individuals (via donaronline.org and the Habiters recurring program), strategic alliances with 25+ corporate partners spanning construction materials (Holcim, Cemento Moctezuma, Home Depot México), consumer goods (P&G, Whirlpool, Henkel, Diageo), financial services (Banorte), industrial (Schneider Electric, UPS, Motorola Solutions, Carrier, Allegion, Nadro, DOW), and workplace-giving channels (United Way / Fondo Unido México), as well as international network support from Habitat for Humanity International. Governance is provided by a National Board of Directors currently chaired by Víctor Hugo Luque Salcedo (appointed April 2023), with Lacmi Rodríguez serving as national executive director. The organization has 98 employees and publishes accountability through annual reports (Informe anual 2025) rather than financial statements.
