Jimmy Carter started working with Habitat for Humanity more than 30 years ago. Despite being in his 90s now, he’s continued volunteering. Carter even assisted on a project the day after a fall that resulted in a hospital trip and stitches, according to The Hill. Their work isn’t just confined to the U.S., either. Projects the Carters have worked on span the entire globe, including locations like Haiti, Thailand, and South Africa. He told Reader’s Digest that his favorite build was a project in India he worked on in 2006.
But the builds aren’t the only thing the Carters do to help. According to Habitat for Humanity, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter also assist with fundraisers and advocate for improving housing access, and this volunteering runs in the family. While Carter was growing up, his mother volunteered with the Peace Corps and did work in her own community to improve health and security.
