HISTORY OF HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
|
Koinonia Farm was a small interracial, Christian farming community founded in 1942 outside of Americus, Georgia by farmer & biblical scholar Clarence Jordan. This farm was visited by individuals who wanted to get away from the more successful and affluent lifestyles, and recuperate with a more simplistic one. In 1965 Millard and Linda Fuller visited Koinonia for the first time. It was then that Jordan and Fuller developed the concept of “partnership housing” which led them to later on be the founders of Habitat for Humanity International in 1976.
