"Tener" is a verb that means "to own", "to have" or "to possess".
"Haber" is mainly used for indicating something is at a place, similar to "there is/are". Then, it is also used as an auxiliary verb for compound tenses, similar like when you use "have + verb participle.
Both can be used to indicate you need / have to do something, but the form "hay" of haber is impersonal.
Examples:
I have two children. = Tengo dos niños (hijos).
I have raised two children. = He críado a dos niños (hijos) (he = form of haber)
There are two children. = Hay dos niños. (hay = form of haber)
We must leave now = Tenemos que irnos ya (subject: we) = Hay que irse ya (subject: impersonal)

Tener and Haber both mean 'To Have' but different meanings. For example: "I HAVE 3 cars" and "I HAVEN'T purchased a car yet" both use the word "Have" but the sense of the word is different. "Haven't" is a compound word that when apart is "Have not"...
