Más de 7,1 millones de personas tienen hoy una vivienda segura

A concrete floor in a house provides safety, comfort, health, and empowerment for the family that lives there. This was taught to us by María Natalia from Guatemala, who now has a concrete floor in her home instead of a dirt floor. She makes a living weaving traditional Guatemalan embroidery. Today, she carries out her economic activity from the comfort of her home. She does it without pain in her knees due to the stones and irregularity of the dirt floor, nor does she inhale dust, nor do her textiles get dirty.

Her story is part of Habitat for Humanity’s latest Annual Report 2022, which summarizes the results of the organization’s work, conducted in the fiscal year 2022, in more than 70 countries.

 

Reporte Anual Global

Un piso de concreto en una vivienda brinda una condición de seguridad, comodidad, salud y empoderamiento para la familia que la habita. Así nos lo enseñó María Natalia desde Guatemala, quien hoy tiene en su casa un piso de concreto en vez de uno de tierra. Ella se gana la vida realizando tejidos tradicionales guatemaltecos.

Día Mundial del Hábitat 2022

El 50% de la población en nuestra región vive en una casa que no es segura ni resiliente al cambio climático. En el #DíaMundialDelHábitat nos unimos a la ONU para crear conciencia, educar y movilizar a las personas.

Queremos que nunca se nos olvide que la vivienda es un derecho humano fundamental al que 1.800 millones de personas no tienen acceso. ¡Alzamos la voz para cerrar la brecha, no dejar a nadie, ni a ningún lugar atrás!
