Levi's and Habitat for Humanity Australia Champion the Power of Community in Workwear Campaign

Levi’s Australia and New Zealand has come together with not-for-profit housing organisation Habitat for Humanity Australia to create a new campaign for Levi’s Workwear.

Titled ‘Work Means More’, the documentary style project was developed by Monster Children Creative and features a group of dedicated tradespeople, volunteers and the local community coming together to provide housing for a Blue Mountains resident who lost everything in the Black Summer Bushfires.

Elisabeth has lived in Dargan for over 47 years, and lost her home in the fires that tore through the region in December 2019. She has been living in a makeshift shed ever since and working every day to restore her property and rebuild her life.

The group of volunteers from Habitat for Humanity Australia worked alongside a small team of tradespeople comprising a carpenter, builders, roofing specialist and landscape gardener to install a comfortable temporary home for Elisabeth, with fresh paint and decking, plumbing and landscaping. 

The project highlights the enormous value gained from the physical work undertaken, for both Elisabeth and for those volunteering.

Levi’s head of marketing, Trent Bos said: “This is the type of contribution and connection that gets us out of bed each morning. What a privilege it was to come together with so many committed and inspiring humans. Two years on from the devastating Australian bushfires that swept across our land, we wanted to let our communities know that we haven't forgotten about you”.
