Business firms can become involved with the Habitat ministry by sponsoring houses or donating construction materials. Their employees and executives can also volunteer to build these houses, either on weekends or during a designated working day.
Corporate builds are an excellent avenue for businesses to act as responsible corporate citizens of the country; they can also be good team-building exercises for employees. Many corporations have even chosen to donate a number of houses to mark anniversaries or other corporate milestones.
Among the business corporations that have held corporate builds with Habitat for Humanity Philippines are ING Bank-which sponsored one-hundred houses to mark their fifteenth year in the country, Dole Asia, the Ayala Group of Companies, the Philippine Daily Inquirer, and Caltex Philippines. Business groups have also held builds, such as the Makati Business Club and the Young Presidents Organization.
