MAIN THEME: Housing
SUMMARY
A transformative idea indoors. This is the initiative Architecture in the Outskirts, which enables women to have autonomy in projects of construction and renovation of their own houses.
GOALS
The initiative of the Institute for Advising Women and Innovation (IAMÍ) is a method that provides technical advice to small groups of women in social vulnerability situation. It aims to encourage their autonomy, collective work and their emancipation, by promoting changes in the lives of people who are connected to them.
DESCRIPTION
The methodology is divided into three stages (planning, construction and follow-up workshops) and offers skills in design, scale, calculation and finance. In addition, it provides microcredit so that participants can have better housing conditions.
The team and the participants join efforts to make the work faster and to create a sense of collectivity, encouraging women to be multipliers of what they have learned.
RESULTS ACHIEVED
So far, after more than 100 meetings and workshops with groups of women, approximately 400 people have benefited from 20 renovated houses and another 10 with work in progress.
