Journalism is a powerful tool to inspire action and generate real change. Alongside @FundacionGabo and @FundacionAVINA, @Habitat_LAC, supported journalists across Latin America and the Caribbean to report on housing, climate and equity in informal settlements.
Cuando una mujer tiene una vivienda adecuada propia, no solo consigue un techo: gana certeza para ella y su familia, seguridad para su futuro y la oportunidad de construir nuevos sueños (1)
@HabitatCambodia launched a new project to improve access to safe, secure homes for people living in informal settlements. "Access to decent housing is a cornerstone of dignity and opportunity,” said its national director. | via @phnompenhpost phnompenhpost.com/national/new-h…
✅Improving housing in informal settlements could prevent 20.3 million illnesses among women and 1 in 4 maternal deaths within the first year. Learn how millions of women’s lives could be changed for the better in this #HomeEquals research report at habitat.org/womens-health.
Last month, we were proud to join 180 families in Katondo, Zambia, as they celebrated receiving land title certificates. Through our @HomeEquals: Access to Security of Tenure project, more than 700 households have now secured land titles.
Join Habitat for Humanity in urging governments, donors and partners to take bold, united action on housing and women’s health, prioritising the needs of women in informal settlements. #HomeEquals
As part of #HomeEquals, @Habitat_Brasil successfully advocated for the reinstatement of the national social housing program, “My House, My Life,” benefitting the country's most vulnerable residents. Learn more about our global advocacy campaign at habitat.org/home-equals.
The 2025 SDG report shows a deepening global housing crisis: 🏚️3B people live in inadequate housing (up from 2.8B) 🌍1.12B live in informal settlements without basic services SDG 11.1 calls for housing for all by 2030. The urgency for action has never been greater #HomeEquals
#DYK Climate migration could impact 215M+ people by 2050, affecting the poorest and fastest urbanizing countries, the most.
The 1.1 billion people living in slums worldwide are not treated as equals. Often lacking essential services & stable homes, families are vulnerable to deadly diseases and extreme weather. #HomeEquals is working to create a world where everyone has access to decent housing. 🏘️
Did you know that better housing conditions in slums can help prevent over 42.9 million incidents of gender-based violence against women, every year? The #HomeEquals campaign reveals the powerful connection between safe housing and women’s safety health.
The #HomeEquals campaign is dedicated to expanding access to adequate housing in informal settlements. We are working to build brighter futures for individuals and communities alike by ensuring access to safe homes. Discover how decent housing can transform lives:
The rise in informal settlements worldwide is a clear indication of systemic failures in urban planning & infrastructure investment. The #HomeEquals campaign encourages governments to implement policies that improve access to safe housing for all. 🏘️🌏
Adequate housing is a critical component of economic growth & development. Access to safe & affordable homes not only allows families to fully invest in education and health, but also creates a foundation for economic prosperity. ❤️🩹 #HomeEqualsHealth 🏘️ #HomeEqualsOpportunity
In informal settlements, many families have limited access to reliable and clean water. 🚰 The #HomeEquals campaign works to promote policies that expand equitable access essential infrastructure to improve living conditions in informal settlements.
#DYK Access to adequate housing can increase life expectancy by 4% around the world (which is about 2.4 years on average!) while also preventing more than 730,000 avoidable deaths annually? ❤️🩹 Learn more:
Habitat for Humanity is committed to making adequate housing a global priority. Through the #HomeEquals global advocacy campaign, we’re driving policy change that empowers people everywhere, giving them a chance at a safe and adequate place to call home.
In collaboration with policymakers, communities and key stakeholders, @Habitat4uganda contributed to the formation of the Parliamentary Forum on Housing in 2023, which is designed to champion access to adequate housing for the communities who need it most. #HomeEquals
