I think this partnership will help us educate our affiliates across the country to the importance of building a house that is usable by the families and which, by its very nature, will be easy to clean and the families will be able to keep clean at a very minimal expense.

Youth Build/Church Coalition Build: Habitat for Humanity of Greater Baton Rouge (Louisiana, October/November 2004

Laticrete International donated setting materials and installation labor and training to tile five new Habitat homes in Baton Rouge, LA. Jack LeBlanc, Laticrete technical sales representative in Louisiana, helped organize the project and spent six full days working with Habitat homeowners, volunteers, and other TPFH partners to tile nearly 4,000 square feet over two weekends.
