INTRODUCTION
Habitat for Humanity started when the Fuller family built a forty-two home community on a large form in Americus, Georgia. Only a few years later the expansion brought the family to Zaire. Now Habitat is located in seventy countries, built more then fourteen hundred communities ("Growing African Cities Face Housing Challenge and Opportunity", 2015). Our expansion will continue until all communities to help families become strengthen, stabilize, be self-reliant, independent and build a better life. Johannesburg, Africa is facing Rapid Urbanization due to economic growth throughout the region leaving many of their residents living in slums without any real opportunity to better themselves and improve their situations. The following slides will take you step – by – step through the process to help us globally expand to our new location.

Habitat Timeline
("Habitat's history", 2017)
In 1942 Kainonia Farm was established in Americus Georgia. The Fullers visited the farm in 1965, shortly after they established partnership housing. By 1968 forty-two homes were built one one acre plots saving four acres for parking. In 1973 the fund for humanity was established to developing countries and moved to Zaire. In 1976 the Fullers found support for their cause by 1984 Habitat caught the eye of President Jimmy Carter. He and his wife were involved with the cause causing a nationwide spark of interest from the United States citizens. The work has continued on since and make their way to help during devastation events. Currently habitat for Humanity has built or repaired more then six hundred thousand homes and help over three million people.

CURRENT STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
“Strategic goals are set by and for top management and focus on objectives for the organization as a whole (Kinicki & Williams, 2016).” By definition, strategic goals are long term in nature (1 – 5 years) and deal with the overall strategy of the company. Habitat for Humanity’s goals are to help 1 million people by improving their housing situations in 5 years. Advocacy includes petitioning lawmakers to remove laws and regulations that act like barriers for access to decent housing. In 5 years, Habitat aims to double their number of volunteers. This is accomplished by instilling in people the desire to help others in need by providing youth programs, and high school and college chapters.

STRUCTURE OF THE ORGANIZATION
The current structure of Habitat for humanity is formulated as a nonprofit organization. The type of organization structure for a nonprofit depends on where it is incorporated and state requirements for each role. However most follow a horizontal schematic similar to a hospitals organizational structure. Habitat for Humanity runs follows this horizontal structure on a national level but also globally overseeing both the national and international organizational spectrum. Currently all international operations are governed by a board of directors who are not paid by the organization, but required through bylaws to contribute to the organization financially. The board is also accountable for all policies and are empowered by Habitat for Humanity’s Articles of Incorporation. The administration aspect of Habitat for Humanity is led by multiple senior leadership executive branches with multiple subordinates beneath them in the centralized hierarchy.

STRUCTURE OF THE ORGANIZATION
This slide is a visual component of each specific senior leader and their roles on a global level. The map currently demonstrates the Habitat for Humanity’s current global presence. Our hope is to demonstrate further capabilities in expansion of assistance necessary for Africa. We will focus our efforts in the southern region of Africa, specifically Johannesburg.

Work Functions for expansion
While South Africa is the second richest country in Africa based on GDP, it is the thirty-fifth highest in the world. This does not mean that the number of volunteers available will be the same as other countries they have built a business in.
Working conditions aren’t what we are used to for paid employees. There is no national minimum wage, no maximum hours that people can work as well, and overtime is only on Sundays. The overtime is however double the normal rate. They do have a requirement to provide a healthy and safe workplace by a government organization.
Even though the working conditions aren’t specified, the structural and building codes are very vast. National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act passed in 1977 governs all building and construction.

Structural Alternatives
Cost analysis – Being 8,000 miles from your main location and also being 7 hours difference means you need to hire an entire executive team to handle the decision making process.
Resource Allocation – A company’s resources need to be allocated so that people familiar with this type of housing and climate. Need to be well versed on the needs of the location.
Government driver – Even though Habitat for Humanity is a charity organization, you are building structures so you need government assistance. This would be one of the first items to look into before making the move. Having the backing of the government is a monumental step.

WEAKNESS AND STRENGTHS
Altruism, or selflessness, is the belief in the welfare of others. Expanding the mission further into Africa shows Habitat’s continued commitment to spreading good will across the world. In addition, volunteers will be able to broaden their horizons by being exposed to a different culture. Our volunteers gain valuable life experience when they can show compassion to a different culture from their own. This experience prepares these volunteers for life’s challenges that lie ahead.
A weakness/disadvantage of doing business overseas is political instability. At any moment a host nation’s government may choose to place limitations on the work being performed or even seize control of the job site. The organization is at the mercy of the government. In addition to political instability, currency fluctuations can and will occur. A budget can be thrown into disarray if the local currency fluctuates erratically.
