Organization’s Name: TOWN BUILD

Description of Organization: We bring innovative and sustainable shelter solutions to low income urban households.
What inspired me to start this organization? The dire need and vulnerabilities of young families, fresh graduates, slum dwellers and many other groups that can not access adequate and decent shelter.
The next big step: To build 50 to 100 sustainable homes.
Biggest Obstacle: One of our challenges is engaging with financial institutions to create a credit product which is more accessible for low-income groups.
A tip for other emerging entrepreneurs: Use the right strategies to find and retain a good team.
