John Abraham was recently named "Global Hero of Habitat" for all his work encouraging the youth of today to take a stand against poverty.

John overjoyed by the response stated to the media “The honor and privilege is all mine and I thank Habitat for the opportunity it has given me, to make a difference to society. I once again appeal to all the youth to come make a difference, by action and let inaction be eliminated from their dictionaries, in helping address the issue of poverty housing in India and around the Globe.”

John has been involved with Habitat for Humanity in 2006. In 2007 Johns brigade made headlines for the millions of youth that became involved with the organization volunteering their time to help those more unfortunate than them.
