As a result of poor shelter, polluted water and inadequate sanitation, 50,000 people – mostly women and children – die each day. The problem is disproportionately concentrated in the developing world. We’re doing our part to help put a roof over as many heads as we can.

A NEW LEASE ON LIFE: RELOCATING SLUMDWELLERS INTO CLEAN, NEW APARTMENTS

We believe in durable and sustainable developments, and our apartment blocks for former slum dwellers are built to last. While the sites were under construction, we provided temporary housing for the slum-dwelling families, as well as medical camps and counseling. To date, we have successfully relocated 1,600 families from abysmal slums into clean, new apartment blocks, so they could begin their life anew in sunny, hygienic spaces with proper plumbing, water and electricity. But we didn’t stop there – read more about our efforts to improve quality of life for slumdwellers and former slumdwellers, including tutoring for children, adult education, regular medical check-ups and more.
