Patricia Hernandez, 32, built her own home with financing of USD 17,000 from our partner Habitat El Salvador. Now, she says, her children won’t be affected by frequent evictions – and she have a solid foundation to build a future for the entire family. For more than 15 years, we have been working with Hábitat para la Humanidad El Salvador, supporting home improvement loans to families with low incomes. The money has helped fund housing construction, expansion and improvement, including installing water and hygiene facilities. Investing in affordable homes isn’t just about providing shelter. It creates a ripple effect that supports resilient, thriving communities. “Housing financing is a trigger for family development, as it contributes to improving self-esteem, habitability, health, education, hygiene, and child development, among others,” he says Hábitat El Salvador’s Ernesto Tobar. The partnership has also trained more than 16,200 people trained in financial education. “Overall, a community-focused approach is a holistic approach that not only addresses immediate financial needs but also fosters long-term sustainable development and social cohesion,” says Oikocredit’s Humberto Ulloa. With affordable housing, we’re building stronger communities – it’s all in our Impact Report 2024.
