CEO Build: Social housing comes into focus at volunteering event gathering business executives

More than 60 CEOs and civil society leaders traded spreadsheets and meetings for power drills and paint brushes as they got involved in constructing homes for vulnerable families at an event organized last week by Habitat for Humanity Romania.

In Moara Nouă, in the commune of Berceni, in Prahova county, the non-profit is building four homes for vulnerable, low-income families. CEO Build, the event gathering decision-makers from a variety of industries, is one of its initiatives highlighting the need for social, affordable housing, alongside accelerated builds of several houses in just five days or rehabilitation work. The beneficiary families are involved in the construction and work side by side with the volunteers. The organization is also building homes in Moinești, in Bacău county, for families who are unable to improve their living conditions.
