With its aim to build more low income homes for families who need them the most, Habitat for Humanity (Guyana) has so far given over 15 families the keys to their very own homes during the 2012-2013 fiscal years.National Director for Habitat for Humanity Guyana Inc, Rawle Small said that since the start of the organizations fiscal year (July 2012 – June 2013) a total of 50 homes were set to be built.He said that during a programme review meeting last week, Habitat budgeted to erect the 50 homes for this year but has only so far built 15 homes.Speaking at the World Habitat Day 2013 under the theme “Urban Mobility” held at the Habitat Headquarters in Hadfield Street,Air Max 97 Undefeated Green, Small said that at present more than half of the world’s population (approximately 3.5 billion people) lives in urban settings.Small said that in 1995 the United Nations declared the first Monday in October to be Habitat Day.
