Habitat for Humanity
We believe that everyone deserves a safe and decent place to live. Together with Habitat for Humanity Australia, and the support of our customers and staff, we are helping to rebuild and repair vulnerable communities in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
We have committed to donating 1% of all profits towards providing access to safe and decent housing, along with access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene and livelihood training to build better lives. Together with our valued customers who can choose to contribute at check-out, we are helping families to build a better tomorrow, today.

Pramila's Story
“I used to sleep tightly hugging my children because I used to fear the wind blowing the roof away”, said Pramila. “Once during the monsoon, the winds ripped the roof from one side of our shack. All our belongings – television, clothes and food were drenched in rainwater.”
