How We Help

Habitat for Humanity

Momentum is delighted to announce we have adopted Habitat for Humanity as our charity of choice for this year. We look forward to building upon last years success. Last year Momentum sent a Group of 11 Volunteers from our member companies to Ghana. 

  
This year Momentum would like to invite YOU to participate in the  'BIG BUILD 2009' . 

We would like to put together a team of 25 volunteers from our member companies to go to Beius in Romania from 3rd – 10th Oct 2009. We welcome all Momentum & Digital Circle members to join us as we support Habitat for this very Special build celebrating 15 years of Habitat's work in Northern Ireland by building big in Romania.

Habitat for Humanity Northern Ireland has provided foundational support for HFH Romania since the Global Village Programme began 10 years ago. More than 300 volunteers on 27 teams have worked alongside families in need in Romania building not just homes but hope for the future.

This is an opportunity to:
  • Help families in need in Romania
  • Network with other Momentum members
  • Develop life long friends
  • Challenge yourself as an individual
  • Improve teamworking/leadership skills
  • Have Fun
 
 
The celebration ‘Big Build’ will see 250 volunteers travel to Beius to build 10 homes in a week. If you would like to become part of the Momentum team to Beius in Oct please contact Jackie Trainor - Jackie Trainor  or 90-243686 ext. 230.
  
 
As stated by Peter Shields- Last years Chairman of Momentum who headed up the team to Ghana in Oct 2008.
 
"For the family, they were getting a roof over their heads and a new home but for the group from Belfast, building that house was much more than bricks and mortar...This was not just about building a house, it was about how we related to each other as a team, how we involved ourselves in a forgotten community and ultimately about the stewardship of our resources”.
 
“We ended up deeply intrigued by things we didn’t understand! On the west coast of Africa, in the rural town of Fosu, Ghana, the safe distance between our world and rural West Africa sharply narrowed.”
