Our Heart
SFL's vision is to be a leading international Christian humanitarian organization enabling poor and suffering people affected by conflict and disaster to rebuild their communities and restore their lives through appropriate shelter and community development programs.

  • rebuild permanent dwellings and infrastructure
  • redevelop communities and economies
  • train and build local capacity
  • promote sustainability and self-sufficiency
  • empower families and organize communities
  • respect local culture and practices
  • utilize proven and appropriate architecture and materials
  • design structures to minimize damage from earthquakes and natural hazards
  • employ and purchase locally
