Affordable housing nonprofit Habitat for Humanity expressed their deep gratitude towards late President Jimmy Carter, referring to him as “a true friend” in a statement released on Sunday. The organization highlighted Carter's unwavering dedication to making the world a better place and encouraged others to join in celebrating his positive impact.
The strong bond between Carter and Habitat for Humanity dates back to the inception of the Carter Work Project. This initiative, which has seen the construction, renovation, or repair of over 4,300 homes with the help of more than 100,000 volunteers across 14 countries, had its origins in a chance encounter during a run in Manhattan.
