Hogar de Cristo Ecuador will hold the "Of Wood and Cane" event on Wednesday, January 28, at 7:30 p.m. This event is dedicated to raising awareness about access to decent housing in communities along the Ecuadorian coast. It will take place in the Zaruma Room of the Sánchez Aguilar Theater in Samborondón and will feature Sergio Said, executive director of SELAVIP Chile.
In these communities, many families build their homes with traditional materials like wood and cane. Despite adverse conditions, they have developed strong support networks, and their resilience is reflected in every collective project.
Said will participate as an exhibitor, sharing SELAVIP's experience in financing and collaborations that facilitate access to decent housing for low-income families.
The event will bring together representatives from institutions, social organizations, and individuals interested in learning about initiatives that promote the right to housing. In addition to the discussion, an audiovisual presentation will be shown featuring testimonials from families and demonstrating the power of community support in the process of building dignified homes.
For SELAVIP, this space represents an opportunity for the exchange of experiences and the strengthening of collaborative networks, which contribute to integral human development in contexts of urban poverty.
