About
Habitat for Humanity Mongolia

"I’ve learned more about the needy than I ever did as governor or as president.  The sacrifice I thought I would be making turned out to be one of the greatest blessings of my life.  I don’t know of anything I’ve ever seen that more vividly demonstrates love in action than Habitat for Humanity."

Jimmy Carter
Former U.S. President and 
Habitat Volunteer
