ABOUT US

In Mexico there is a housing deficit of 9.4 million, out of which 2.6 million have access to a credit from the mortgage market or, if they have social security, from governmental institutions such as Infonavit, Fovissste, or the Army, while 6.8 million families do not have access to adequate mechanisms to acquire a home, so they choose between self-construction or selfproduction, obtaining precarious, unsafe and deficient results. ÉCHALE is a social enterprise based in Mexico City committed to build a better life quality for and with the families. With a mission to promote holistic development for marginalized communities, we provide adequate and affordable solutions through social and financial inclusion and technological empowerment.

VISION

MISSION

Drive the sustainable community development through housing and community infrastructure construction based on social inclusion worldwide.

We build homes with the families and promote holistic community development in Mexico through adequate and affordable solutions, through social and financial inclusion and technological empowerment.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR? We promote the sustainable development of vulnerable communities through the sum of our three main lines.

Community Finance

Construction

Foundation

Our homes are designed to meet the 7 elements of adequate housing proposed by the OHCHR (Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights).

VALUES Dynamism, Equity, Sustainability, Empathy, Transparency.

We encourage social inclusion through social workshops, technical training, participatory design, and financial literacy workshops.

Through the 4 axes of the model, which are social inclusion, access to financing, adequate technology and scalability, we boost the development of each community.
