We found out more about their efforts in other countries at the Global Village. The walking tour took us through an example of substandard housing (slums) followed by 15 model homes that are being built by Habitat around the world.
These homes were styled for local preferences and each locale's needs; whether protection from heat or wind or rain or flooding. Global Village included samples the would be used in countries of South America, Africa, and Asia. Each of these homes could be sponsored (which is the cost of building one) for $1200 to $6500.
