What is INCLUDED about?

INCLUDED provides a baseline of essential opportunities to migrants living in urban slums. We do this through one-stop-shop community center platforms, what we call the Community in a Box. We help slumdwellers transition upwards.

Why is this important?

1 in 3 of humanity is soon to live in a slum. Millions are flooding from the countrysides and landing in slums on the edges of cities. Everyone deserves to belong. Everyone deserves a chance to participate and contribute.

Where did you come from?

We’ve been doing this for 10 years in Asia (Beijing, Dhaka, Kathmandu, Shanghai, and Guangzhou) and we and our partners have launched and expanded 31 community centers in urban slums. We started in Beijing in 2006.

Where are you going?

We’re now turning our attention more fully on decentralizing and replicating the model in other regions and we welcome your partnership in that. We’re focused on cities in Asia and Africa at the moment.

Where are you based?

Our Mothership is based in San Francisco.

How do you launch a city?

We start with relationships. Then move to values. Then train ourselves. Then investigate. Then launch. Then keep learning.

How do I launch a city?

Get to know us online and then reach out. We’ll do a slow dance to see if we’re right for each other.
