Buying a space helps those that have no space

Whenever you buy a space, we donate a percentage of the cost to Homeless International, a charity that supports supports partners in Africa and Asia who are working with slum communities to reduce poverty and improve living conditions.

What Homeless International do

Urban poverty is a massive and growing issue, but it is often poorly understood, underestimated and unrecognised. Almost one billion people - a sixth of the world's total population - live in slums, and this figure will increase to 1.4 billion by 2020 if urgent action is not taken to address urban poverty.

Homeless International supports community-led housing and infrastructure related development in partnership with local partner organisations in Africa and Asia. The initiatives are all led, developed and managed by the local community groups themselves.

Why Homeless International make a difference

Homeless International is different from many other charities because they work within long-term relationships with their partners, rather than providing one-off grants for short-term projects. This means they can develop new initiatives with their partners over a number of years. They are also unique in the way they develop new financial products that enable poor communities to access affordable finance for slum upgrading initiatives.

When you check out your space, you will see under the total the amount that will be donated to Homeless International. This amount is not in additional to the normal sum, but instead comes directly from our profits.
