Story
Currently, the more than 1 billion people around the world living in informal settlements, such as slums or favelas, are not treated as equals โ their homes often lack basic services, land tenure security and climate resilience. A home without access to clean water means families are at risk of life-threatening diseases. A home without land rights means families live in fear of eviction with their futures on hold. A poorly built home in a disaster-prone area means families are more vulnerable to climate change. A home where civic participation is limited means families struggle to have their voices heard. This isnโt fair, this isnโt right. It will take the power of communities coupled with policy change to ensure access to adequate housing for all. With fewer barriers in their way, people in informal settlements can improve their homes, creating benefits for themselves, their families and their communities. Because: Graphic that reads: Home equals health. Home equals safety and security. Home equals opportunity for a better future. There is a horizontal blue bar after each line. Informal settlements hold infinite promise. In these bustling communities, innovation and entrepreneurship thrive.
