Habitat for Humanity has launched its global Let's Open the Door campaign across more than 60 countries to address Africa's significant affordable housing gap.

An estimated 62% of urban dwellings in Africa are informal, highlighting a severe housing shortage.
The campaign involves Habitat for Humanity International, led by Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Reckford, and its national branches, like Habitat for Humanity Kenya.
The initiative uses community builds, pop-up installations, and digital storytelling to advocate for increased access to safe, affordable, and sustainable housing, linking it to improved health, education, and economic stability.
