OUR HISTORY
Since 1991, Edisto Habitat for Humanity has served Orangeburg County to improve our communities and the lives of others by providing safe and affordable housing. Through faith, innovation and passion, and thanks to the support of countless community partners, volunteers, donors and advocates, Edisto Habitat for Humanity has made a significant impact in Orangeburg County since its founding.
For over 30 years, the support of our donors, volunteers, faith-based organizations, local business owners, educational institutes, in-kind gifts, sponsors, and community partners is the reason we can continue our work.
Edisto Habitat for Humanity partners with people in our community to help them build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With your support, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and for their families.
Homeownership is the foundation of a bright future. A safe, decent home gives a family the opportunity to invest in education, live in healthier environments, have financial stability, and much more.
