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.
-- Millard Fuller, Founder and President, Habitat for Humanity International

2003 Jimmy Carter Work Project in Valdosta (June 2003)

TPFH partners used NATTCO tools, buckets, and installation equipment to install tile in the entryways of the 26 homes in Valdosta.

From Brian Turner, CEO and president of NATTCO and TI Pro

“North American Tile Tool Company is a company that likes to be involved with its peers and customers. When we see an opportunity to be occupied in a worthwhile cause that is professionally run and organized, then we want to be part of that development.”
