Did you know that York Habitat for Humanity donates 10% of our undesignated general donation funds to the Habitat for Humanity affiliates of Uganda every year?  For more than six years now, York Habitat has been sending donations through this process called the "tithe," leading to over $50,000 going to this African country!  Few other North American Habitat affiliates donate this consistently overseas through the tithe.  Check out the photo below, taken during Scott and Ronald's visit to the U.S.!
