Since 2019, Dye & Durham has served as a World Housing Ambassador. We\u2019re part of a network of like-minded organizations and individuals who believe in \u2018housing first\u2019 and building communities founded on the three pillars of sustainable change: safe housing, health and education. In 2022, we\u2019ll contribute a further $200,000 to build 23 homes that will house another 115 people in the Oguis neighbourhood of Danao, the Philippines and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.<\/p>\n
To date, Dye & Durham has raised $80,000 to help build homes in three communities across the globe:<\/p>\n
\u201cBy pledging donations from our commercial transactions to fund these innovative community-building opportunities on a global scale, we ensure that everyone within our organization and throughout our network has an elevated part to play in gifting homes to those with the most need,\u201d says our CEO Matthew Proud.<\/p>\n
Since 2013, World Housing has built more than 850 homes and housed more than 4,200 people in Cambodia, the Philippines, Colombia, El Salvador, Mexico and here in Canada. By leveraging new technologies and innovative funding opportunities, World Housing ensures it\u2019s building homes in communities where the organization can make the most impact in the global effort to end homelessness.<\/p>\n
\u201cWorld Housing\u2019s mission is to provide solutions to housing insecurity and homelessness, and to build safe and supportive housing for the world\u2019s poorest people, which we share with our Ambassador community,\u201d says Don McQuaid, Managing Director of World Housing. \u201cTogether, we\u2019re aligned on the belief that housing security provides the foundation for social change.\u201d<\/p>\n
