Ya iniciamos el proceso participativo

LAS FAMILIAS
LAS FAMILIAS

Querida comunidad de GlobalGiving:

Nos complace compartir una noticia importante sobre nuestro proyecto “Ciudades de Esperanza”. En las últimas semanas, hemos iniciado oficialmente el proceso participativo con cuatro familias, marcando un hito significativo en nuestro esfuerzo colectivo por promover una vivienda digna y autogestionada en zonas urbanas vulnerables.

Junto a las familias y líderes comunitarios, hemos comenzado a construir—tanto física como socialmente—las bases para levantar no solo módulos de vivienda de emergencia, sino también estrategias de largo plazo basadas en la participación, el empoderamiento y la toma de decisiones compartida.

Actividades realizadas hasta ahora:

  • 4 talleres participativos para identificar necesidades, prioridades y estrategias con cada familia.

  • Talleres sobre el derecho a la vivienda, enfocados en fortalecer el conocimiento sobre la vivienda como un derecho humano fundamental.

  • Talleres de planificación de la vivienda, abordando distribución, uso del espacio y fases de construcción según el contexto de cada familia.

  • Construcción participativa de 4 módulos de vivienda de emergencia, con la participación activa de cada hogar y el acompañamiento de equipos técnicos.

  • Acompañamiento técnico y social continuo, incluyendo visitas de obra y seguimiento para asegurar la calidad y el involucramiento comunitario durante todo el proceso.

  • Evaluación preliminar de resultados, identificando aprendizajes y aspectos a mejorar para las siguientes etapas.

Este proyecto refleja el poder de los procesos liderados por la comunidad cuando se sustentan en la confianza, el diálogo y la planificación colectiva. Estamos profundamente agradecidos por su apoyo, que hace posible co-crear entornos de vida más seguros y justos junto a familias en condiciones de vulnerabilidad.

Les seguiremos informando conforme avancemos hacia las siguientes fases de construcción y evaluación.

Con gratitud,
El equipo de Habitable

Dear GlobalGiving community,

We are pleased to share an exciting update from our “Ciudades de Esperanza” project. Over the past weeks, we have officially launched the participatory process with four families, marking a significant milestone in our collective effort to support dignified, self-managed housing in underserved urban areas.

Together with the families and community leaders, we have begun laying the foundation—both physically and socially—for building not only emergency housing modules, but also long-term strategies of empowerment, participation, and shared decision-making.

Activities carried out so far:

  • 4 participatory workshops to identify needs, priorities, and strategies with each family.

  • Workshops on the right to housing, focused on strengthening knowledge of housing as a fundamental human right.

  • Housing planning workshops, addressing layout, space use, and construction phases according to each family’s context.

  • Participatory construction of 4 emergency housing modules, with active involvement from each household and support from technical teams.

  • Ongoing technical and social support, including site visits and monitoring to ensure quality and community engagement throughout the construction process.

  • Preliminary evaluation of outcomes, identifying learnings and areas for improvement as we move forward.

This project reflects the power of community-led processes when supported by trust, dialogue, and collaborative planning. We are deeply grateful for your support, which makes it possible to co-create safer and more just living environments with families in vulnerable conditions.

We will continue to keep you updated as we move into the next phases of construction and evaluation.

With gratitude,
The Habitable Team
