The need for decent housing in Romania

One in 10 people in Romania
lives every day in a home with a leaking roof, water seeping through the walls and mould (National Institute of Statistics).
21% of people in Romania
live in homes without an indoor toilet (National Institute of Statistics).
Almost half of Romania’s population (41%) lives in overcrowded homes (Eurostat).

Our impact over the past 30 years:

More than 100,000 people supported through our programmes.

5,100 homes built or improved.

More than 55,000 volunteers have joined us on Habitat build sites over the years.
