About Me

Last year, I traveled to Thailand and truly saw how impoverished some parts of the world are. That trip left a mark on me, spurring a need to give back in some way. When a coworker told me about this trip to India, I knew I had to be involved. With help from my network of friends and family, I will be able to make this possible and give back to those communities so in need. While not everyone gets the opportunity to actively participate in an event like this, supporting others is just as impactful.

I need to raise $730 for the Habitat for Humanity program cost through this tax-deductible donation page. Additional donations for the cost of my flight, travel visa, and any other travel costs can be made to my GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/HFHISierraKnepple

If you have any questions about the trip, donations, or why I'm going, please reach out to me. I so appreciate any assistance that you can provide. Traveling to a new country and experiencing first-hand the poor living circumstances of the people there will help me grow as a person while giving back to those that are desperately in need. Thank you for helping make this dream possible.

More Info

While India’s economy is resilient amid global recession, the South Asian country continues to face the challenge of alleviating poverty. According to Indian government statistics, the country lacks some 50 to 60 million units of adequate housing.

Habitat for Humanity India was formed in 1983 and has built more than 17,000 houses. Habitat’s IndiaBUILDS campaign aims to house 250,000 people over five years, mobilizing one million volunteers in the process and raising capital toward that goal. 

Global Village is Habitat for Humanity’s international volunteer program. Teams travel to over 40 countries to work alongside communities, build housing solutions, and experience local culture. Our goal is to change the lives of the people we serve, as well as the lives of the volunteers.

Families and individuals in need of a hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Through financial support, volunteering or adding a voice to support affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Through shelter, we empower. To learn more, visit habitat.org.
