In these regions, more than 50 million people live in poverty on dirt floors, a situation that directly affects their health, well-being, and development opportunities. This involves more than 10 million homes in inadequate conditions, especially in rural and marginal urban areas.\n\nAndr\u00e9s Mej\u00eda, the top representative of the MAPFRE Foundation in the Dominican Republic, recognized Habitat for Humanity for the award given to its social project, which generates a positive impact on people's lives.\n\n\n

For the construction of the new floors, low-carbon concrete is used, produced locally with recycled materials, which reduces carbon dioxide (CO2<\/sup>) emissions, generates community employment and strengthens homes against natural disasters.\n\nAccording to studies conducted by Habitat for Humanity after the implementation of 100,000 homes to play, families who received a concrete home experienced a 79% reduction in medical expenses (78% reduction in parasitic infections in children, 49% in diarrhea and 81% in anemia).\n\nRegarding mental and emotional health, a decrease in stress and an improvement in self-esteem associated with having more dignified and safe housing were recorded. Children increased their hours of play within the home by 80%, and school absenteeism was reduced by 15%, favoring cognitive development by up to 96%.\n\n\n

Habitat and FICEM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nHabitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization present in more than 70 countries, which has allowed more than 46 million people to access decent housing since 1976. FICEM, for its part, brings together cement companies in the region and leads sustainable and socially responsible construction initiatives.\n\n\n
