=Challenge=
There is a strong relationship between housing and public health. Lack of basic sanitation, ventilation and clean water in early childhood can compromise a child's physical and cognitive development and can even result in fatalities. However, housing with good lighting and clean drinking water promotes education and decreases hospitalizations. Our challenge is to make it possible for 20 families to live in basic conditions such as running water, sewage, safe electrical installations, and windows

=Long-Term Impact=
Instituto Dara is a world pioneer in intersectoral work with social determinants of health, housing included. Through an understanding that poverty is multidimensional, Dara believes that the social transformation of vulnerable families is only possible when several areas of human development are addressed simultaneously and in an integrated manner. Through co-created goals, each of the 20 selected families will improve 5 areas of their lives, such as promoting and improving housing conditions.
