A champion for affordable and decent housing, he and Rosalynn Carter donated their time and leadership each year to build and improve homes with Habitat around the world. President Carter died peacefully Sunday, Dec. 29, at his home in Plains, Georgia, surrounded by his family.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are deeply saddened by President Carter\u2019s passing, and our prayers are with the Carter family,\u201d said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. \u201cPresident and Mrs. Carter began volunteering with Habitat for Humanity near their home in southwest Georgia more than 40 years ago, and soon brought worldwide attention to the need for decent and affordable housing. We are grateful for the incredible impact the Carters have had on Habitat and on the families who have benefited from their shining example. The Carters put Habitat for Humanity on the map, and their legacy lives on in every family we serve around the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After leaving the White House, the Carters sought out meaningful ways to continue their commitment to social justice and basic human rights. They first volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in Americus, Georgia, near their home of Plains, in March 1984. Later that same year, the Carters joined Habitat volunteers in New York City\u2019s Lower East Side to renovate an abandoned building in partnership with families in need of affordable housing. That trip marked Habitat for Humanity\u2019s first Jimmy Carter Work Project (later renamed the <\/span>Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project)<\/span><\/a>. Each year since then until 2019, the Carters volunteered with Habitat to build or improve houses alongside homeowners in communities across the United States and around the world. President Carter also served as a member of the organization\u2019s board of directors from 1984-1987.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think every human being has within himself or herself a desire to reach out to others and to share some of our blessings with those who are in need,\u201d President Carter has said. \u201cWhat\u2019s opened up that avenue for me and my wife and hundreds and thousands of others is Habitat for Humanity. It makes it easy for us to reach out and work side by side with the homeowner who\u2019s never had a decent house, perhaps. I haven\u2019t been on a Habitat project that I wasn\u2019t thrilled and inspired and wept.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the last three decades, the Carter Work Project has touched lives around the world by inspiring more than 108,000 volunteers across the U.S. and in 14 countries to build, renovate and repair 4,447 Habitat homes. Since its founding in 1976, Habitat has served more than 62 million people around the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2016, Habitat named President and Mrs. Carter as the inaugural Habitat Humanitarians for their extraordinary dedication to service in alignment with Habitat\u2019s vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.<\/span><\/p>\n
