45. The world is experiencing a global housing crisis. About 1.6
billion people globally live in substandard housing and 100
million are homeless, according to the United Nations. If no
serious action is taken, the United Nations reports that the
number of slum dwellers worldwide will increase over the next
30 years to nearly 2 billion.
Despite the progress in meeting low cost housing in Africa, UN
agency Habitat, says that the continent requires 4 million units
per year to cover its low cost housing needs.

HOUSING THE HOMELESS

46. Poverty housing affects people’s health and well-being, their
job prospects and ability to make a living. It locks people into a
cycle of poverty.
It also holds children back from fulfilling their potential:
children living in bad housing are more likely to suffer from
serious health problems, to have learning difficulties and miss
school and to face unemployment and poverty later in life.
The impact on children’s development is both immediate and
long-term. Growing up in poor or overcrowded housing has
been found to have a lasting impact on a child’s health and
well-being throughout their life.
Housing at minimum cost meaning lowering the cost of
construction – Advantage of economies of scale
WHY?

How to bring decent low cost housing
to poor communities?

48. APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY
The economist and philosopher wanted to stress that small-scale
technologies are the ones needed in the fight against poverty. These
solutions have great advantages: they can be implemented with
local resources and skills and they are affordable - which makes
them tools that empower people to help themselves.
The impact of appropriate technology becomes particularly
noticeable when innovative solutions are used and promoted by
social entrepreneurs who put social impact at the heart of their
business. The combination of low-cost technology and social
entrepreneurship can have far-reaching implications for thousands
of lives. Creating jobs, stimulating ownership confidence and the
spirit of innovation - this is what social businesses are looking for.
Appropriate technical solutions, such as low cost housing, improve
life quality and can give the initial push for development.
