"Helping Mexicans access credit and affordable housing through sustainable community development" by Jung 2016

-

The project that Jung is presenting, is another solution to our main problems that we explained in other posts, it's that Mexicans can afford a real and a decent place to live. As Jungs says "Our mission is to help people access credit and affordable housing. This is accomplished at the community level, bringing neighbors together through savings & credit programs & aiding in the construction of each other’s homes. These efforts foster accountability & unity, providing pride of ownership not only in each family’s new home, but also in the investment they have made in the greater community." 

As we can see this solution is not only based on the help people can offer to others, it's more about a self help, to grow and maintain a stable way of living.
