Last year Homeless International’s Affiliation Fee Round-Up campaign raised £28,000 to help with our efforts in supporting community-led housing initiatives in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Our target for this year is £35,000.

I would like to ask Housing Today readers to continue the generous financial support that helped us reach more than a million slum- and pavement-dweller households last year and deliver well over £1.5m into local self-help projects in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

We are a low-maintenance, high-impact charity making a real difference with the support of the UK housing sector. Please keep up your support: check our website, www.homeless-international.org, call us on 02476 632802 or look out for the letters in the National Housing Federation mail-out.
