While Pitt helped rehabilitate those displaced by cyclone Katrina in New Orleans, Abraham is building homes for poor families in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
The actor joined Habitat for Humanity's annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project this week and worked alongside volunteers including actress Pooja Bedi and Jacqueline Fernandez.
The Bollywood trio helped build and repair homes in partnership with low-income families in need of decent housing, a press statement from Asianet said.
"It's great being part of the building process," said Abraham, who was named a Habitat Global Hero for his work in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Ethiopia.
The greatest thing about the endeavour, Abraham said, is its revenue model, with homeowner families helping to pay for houses for future families.
"I find this really special. And I think it's a great model for other organizations," the actor said.
Habitat's Carter Work Project is an intensive week-long build that takes place in a different city around the world each year.
Former US President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn are leading the annual Habitat for Humanity build in five Asian countries.

Why cannot he build homes for the tsunami victims of India? As for that other traitor,he always has his tongue hanging out fot the Pakistanis.
Hindus...like your kind...must live in India permenantly coz if ever you people get out of the country you'd realize people see people as human beings....but your kind are demonic. I only hope that future elections in India will see the face of the party BJP wiped out....cursed are your lot.
The faith of a Christian lies in Rome... Instead of paying taxes in India, the son of gun is wasting money in Thailand... All Muslims and Christians are traitors
Christian nexus trying to destroy Thailand. All these pedo philes first go there for the despicable lust, then try to destroy Thai culture and religion too. John Abraham must be investigated for all this. The fact that he is a Christian makes him a pedo phile.
