Our work is divided into four main programs:

Human Settlements and Environment

This program focuses on assistance to urban and rural poor communities in the planning, design, development and management of their settlements.

Education and Training

This program creates education and training modules and conducts workshops on topics such as community development planning, estate management, disaster risk management, and solid waste management.

Research and Publications

This program is in charge of research, popularization and publication of materials on topics such as building laws, alternative building materials, tools for participatory community planning, and processes of land acquisition.

Young Professionals

This program is a venue for students, academics, and professionals to act and respond to human settlements issues affecting the poor.
