Wesco Supports Habitat for Humanity’s 100,000 Floors to Play On Initiative

Wesco is committed to strengthening communities around the world by advancing affordable housing programs and projects. That’s why we’re proud to announce our support for Habitat for Humanity International’s 100,000 Floors to Play On initiative.

This year, we are helping to transform homes across Brazil, Chile and Mexico by funding the installation of safe, durable concrete floors. Each national Habitat organization will receive $60,000 to advance this critical work, replacing dirt floors with concrete by 2028—a change that brings dignity, safety, and opportunity to families throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

At Wesco, we believe that safe and affordable housing is foundational to building stronger communities. Through our continued partnership with Habitat for Humanity International, we’re proud to help families across Latin America gain access to healthier living conditions. Replacing dirt floors with durable concrete is more than a construction project. It’s a step toward dignity, safety and opportunity.

In partnership with Habitat for Humanity Brazil, Wesco will help build or replace 22 floors in the cities of Bom Jardim and Araripina, both located in the semi-arid region of Pernambuco State. Since the project’s inception, Wesco employees have already completed 10 of the 22 floors, and construction is underway on the remaining 12 homes.

“There’s no question about it – a decent, affordable house has a significant impact on a family’s health and wellbeing,” said Charlita Stephens-Walker, vice president of corporate partnerships and cause marketing at Habitat for Humanity International. “A home should never threaten a family’s health, yet as many as 1 in 4 people worldwide live in conditions that harm their health and safety. That’s why it’s so critical to work with partners like Wesco who share our commitment to creating homes that are safe, healthy and sustainable. We are so grateful for Wesco’s continued support of our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.”

This initiative is part of Wesco’s broader commitment to creating sustainable, healthy communities through our Wesco Cares philanthropic program. We also proudly support Habitat’s Home Equals global advocacy campaign and were honored to sponsor the 2025 Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project in Austin, Texas.
