Another year passed in our country, and we again commemorate World AIDS Day Habitat. If we take a quick look around us we see that the housing situation and housing in the world is be a distressing problem.
More than half of the world's population located in urban areas it is estimated that at least 1000 million people live in settlements and other inadequate housing. Hundreds of thousands of families living in truly appalling conditions, without water and sanitation, causing many diseases and conditions. Argentina's only 4 in 10 people live in inadequate housing conditions.

Since Habitat for Humanity Argentina argue that the right to decent housing, access to basic services, education is fundamental and inalienable rights of human beings. So, day after day work so that more people need to be able to solve the problem of housing and habitat.
But we believe that more than 4 walls and a roof, we need to build sustainable communities and housing. That, in the context of the scale of need in Argentina, and the lack of resources, social work requires a more complex and innovative solutions that address short-term responses, but also an insight development and sustainability.
This bet every day to strengthen our relationship with families in need, trying to provide a space conducive to their development and empowerment and appreciating the commitment and their active role in the process. We have valuable tools such as incremental improvements, rents protected and technical advice, legal and financial which are provided on the basis of volunteerism.
World Habitat Day invites us to reflect on the state of each city and the need to take action to reverse the situation. The first look that I suggested we return a grim and discouraging, but going into the communities themselves are isolated actions and energies, together make up the methodology which produces the greatest number of homes in Latin America: the social production of habitat. HPHA proposes to collaborate and promote the production by means of tools that provide funding, professional advice and building hope.
