Housing and Infrastructure

All around the world, CHF works in partnership with communities, local governments, ministries and donors to rebuild the critical infrastructure and basic services that low-income, conflict- and disaster-affected families need in order to create a better future for generations to come.  New roads, bridges and electrification projects not only enable unencumbered transport for better marketing of goods and services in places such as Afghanistan, Serbia, Montenegro and Iraq, but they also bridge borders and facilitate social interaction, trust and dialogue among diverse religious and ethnic groups.

Our construction and infrastructure projects are promoting local employment and vocational training in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia and providing underemployed groups with concrete linkages to resources and skills that will help them better feed their families and support economic development in their communities.

These projects result in many tangible outcomes, such as new schools, healthcare clinics and homes for the displaced or impoverished. Our infrastructure and construction processes are rooted in democratic decision-making and community dialogue, which promotes lasting stability, helps to mitigate conflict and enhances the ability of millions to engage their local governments and the private sector in realizing shared development goals.
