A flourishing home-grown not-for-profit social business, established 2010

Vision for Homes was founded, and continues to be operated, by Papua and New Guineans.  It was registered as a Community Based Organisation (CBO) and commenced operations in 2010. Vision for Homes grew out of the Western Highlands affiliate of Habitat for Humanity PNG (HFHPNG) when HFHPNG ceased operations.

Today, Vision for Homes employs and trains Papua New Guineans in building skills. Since 2010, Vision for Homes has built or renovated and repaired over 116 high quality, structurally sound buildings. New builds include houses for teachers, policemen and district officials as well as for individual families, 38 double classrooms and offices, a clinic for ICRC in the Southern Highlands, aid posts for two Western Highlands communities, Umi (2020) and Kopeng (2021), additions to the Mitiku Health Centre and a Ward building in Dei District.  Renovations include classrooms and staff houses at the Kentagl School in Dei District. Two ‘show homes’, demonstrating the quality of structures built by Vision for Homes, have been built.  One is in the Vision for Homes compound (located near Kagamuga Airport, Mt Hagen).  The other is located in one of the new suburbs of Port Moresby.  For details of house designs, refer to Scope of Work

In 2024 and 2025, Vision for Homes completed three staff duplex houses, one for Kwip Dau secondary school in Mul Baiyer district and two for Kitip secondary school in Dei district, both in Western Highlands province. These projects were funded by Vision for Homes Australian partner, Partner Housing Australasia . A third project, for Kitip secondary school, was approved for funding and commenced in October 2025.
