Homes aren’t built on hope alone. They’re built with hands, heart – and your steady support.
Across Australia, thousands of women and families are living in unsafe, unstable housing. Many are rebuilding their lives after experiencing domestic violence, homelessness or financial hardship. Sarah* was one of them.
When Sarah* left an abusive relationship, she found safety in a shelter – one that Habitat had helped renovate. It was there that she discovered the Habitat Women program, a pathway that gave her the tools and confidence to build a brighter future for herself and her son, Liam*.

Sarah* found safety from an abusive relationship with Habitat for Humanity, and is now part of the Habitat Women program

“Habitat Women has given me a purpose, the skills and the opportunity to take care of myself and my son.
Before I started the program, I hadn’t just lost my confidence, I’d lost everything I knew. Now I feel like I’m on the right track.”
