thestar.com — September 30, 2024, 03:00 PM UTC

Summary: A benefit concert and the construction of 30 new homes are set to celebrate President Jimmy Carter's 100th birthday on October 1. The concert, held in Atlanta, raised funds for international programs founded by the Carters in 1982.

Thousands of Habitat for Humanity volunteers are building homes in St. Paul, Minnesota, honoring Carter's long-standing commitment to the organization. The Carters have worked with Habitat for Humanity for 40 years, helping to build homes and support communities.

Carter's philanthropic efforts also include a focus on eradicating Guinea worm disease. His work has significantly reduced cases from 3.5 million in 1986 to just 13 in 2022, showcasing his dedication to humanitarian causes throughout his post-presidency.
