Clarence Jordan, a philosopher-farmer in Americus, Georgia, was convinced that poor people living in dilapidated shacks could improve themselves with a little support. \u201cThey don\u2019t need charity,\u201d he said to Millard Fuller, who visited Jordan\u2019s church community, Koinonia Farm. \u201cThey need a way to help themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
Millard Fuller, thirty, who was nearly a millionaire, was inspired by Jordan to begin what today is a worldwide organization to provide housing for the poor. Habitat for Humanity runs on what he calls \u201cthe theology of the hammer.\u201d The group raises money and recruits volunteers to renovate and build homes, which are sold at cost. Mortgages are interest free to qualified recipients. Habitat now builds or renovates twelve houses every day.<\/p>\n
