Millard Fuller is the founder and president of Habitat for Humanity International. Fuller's business expertise and entrepreneurial drive made him a millionaire by age 29. Then, after a rededication of his life to family and to following God's path, Fuller and his wife, Linda, decided to sell their possessions and give the money to the poor. Following missions work in Africa, the Fullers founded Habitat for Humanity in Americus, Georgia. Fuller has written nine books about his work with Habitat for Humanity. He has received numerous awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian award, and more than 40 honorary doctorate degrees for his outstanding leadership toward meeting the goal of eliminating poverty housing worldwide.
