Dignified Housing with Equión has benefited more than 3,900 families

“Before we had a small room, and since it was a shack, too many roosters came, they gave us the first subsidy and we were able to buy the materials to build the whole house,” say Emiro Vargas and Jaqueline Lara, one of the 3,949 families benefiting from the social investment program Dignified Housing with Equión.

Since its inception in 2001, this initiative operated by the Corporación Minuto de Dios has provided 6,007 housing improvements and 46,295 hours of technical assistance, initially in the areas of influence in Tauramena and Aguazul, currently in Yopal and Nunchía, Casanare.
With this program, Equión reiterates its purpose of contributing to the transformation of lives in the communities neighboring its operation, by supporting families in improving their homes, so they can have differentiated spaces, sanitary units, kitchens, dignified rooms, and floors made of suitable materials, thus improving their living conditions.
It is a teamwork process, in which Equión provides the materials, the operator provides technical advice, and the beneficiaries provide the labor.
