Nissan: Habitat Project Builds a Home, and Repairs a Heart

Nissan: Habitat Project Builds a Home, and Repairs a Heart

Nissan picked 6 of their employees to work with Habitat for Humanity as volunteers for Habitat for Humanity's 2013 Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project.  Their task was to help build, or repair, dozens of homes in three U.S. cities in a one-week period.

Juanita Clemmons, a production technician was one of those picked. She has always enjoyed helping others, but lately volunteering has become even more central to her life.  She said the opportunity that Nissan gave her to build a home in Oakland is helping her maybe even more than the homeowners.

"Just being with people has helped me get to where I am today, and just being here with these people all week has helped me to get through," said Clemmons.

Clemmons lost her son about a year ago in a car accident.

Clemmons said building a home and a new future for a deserving family is exactly what she needed to rebuild her own life.

Clemmons plans to take all that she learned in California back home to Smyrna, Tenn.  She wants to keep breaking barriers and serving others in honor of her son.

"It is not all about him or me.  It is about God giving me the strength to move on and help someone else," said Clemmons.  "It has taught me there are always people less fortunate than you are."

Nissan employees like Clemmons have volunteered more than 25,000 hours to build, side by side, with Habitat partner families. Since 2005, Nissan has contributed nearly $11 million in house sponsorships and truck donations in the U.S. and internationally.
