Nowadays, millions of us live in rooms, apartments or houses that are too small, too dark, cold and too damp. For some, even such a space seems to be an unattainable dream. For too many of us, this is not just a vision of the harsh reality of everyday life - it is the only perspective of the future that we have.

But we know that a home is not just a shelter, a space, or a place that helps us survive. That is why our mission is to help as many people as possible by improving housing. We will help more people know what it’s like to wake up in a home that’s safe, dry and warm. To welcome family and friends to a home they feel proud of.

Nowadays, millions of us live in rooms, apartments or houses that are too small, too dark, cold and too damp. For some, even such a space seems to be an unattainable dream. For too many of us, this is not just a vision of the harsh reality of everyday life - it is the only perspective of the future that we have.

But we know that a home is not just a shelter, a space, or a place that helps us survive. And so, through our newly created Fondation Castorama in France, we extended our community impact by supporting 13 NGOs working to improve housing and community facilities, increase access to housing and foster self-help networks among disadvantaged families and communities.

Good homes have never been more important, especially for the millions of people who live in cramped, unsafe rooms, apartments, and homes with no running water or electricity, or a sloping roof.  A home is not just a shelter. A good home is essential to our lives; for health, dignity and well-being. To build relationships and strengthen communities and to be able to hope for a better future.

As per our mission, we strive to help solving the problem of poor and inadequate housing. Our efforts aim at improving the living conditions, the quality and safety of life in disadvantaged communities and low-income families.

That's why we are committed to helping as many people find out what it's like to have a proper, safe and welcoming home.
