Manufactured Sand, a sustainable alternative to river sand, is a key input construction material in India. Over the last six years, the Terwilliger Center has worked closely with M-Sand manufacturers, industry associations, government bodies, and the media to improve accessibility as well as awareness of M-Sand as a sustainable construction material in Tamil Nadu.   While M-Sand manufacturers in India, especially Tamil Nadu – largely micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) – have significant growth potential, they also face numerous constraints. To better address their needs and promote innovation in the sector, the Terwilliger Center recently launched an MSME Accelerator Program for M-Sand manufacturers, in collaboration with PSG-STEP, Coimbatore and the M-Sand Association of Tamil Nadu.   The program aims to empower sector manufacturers with the tools, mentoring, and insights to enhance their operations and scale sustainably. The program's first workshop was held on February 22, with the participation of 10 M-Sand manufacturers. Over the next four months, PSG-STEP aims to conduct six more workshops and engage 25 manufacturers in the space.   We are thrilled to enable product enhancements and process efficiencies, building a more organized M-Sand sector and delivering better products and greater value for customers, particularly low-income households.    #MSand #Sustainability #ConstructionIndustryIndia #Innovation #MSME #OrganizedSector #BestPractices #CustomerValue #MSandAssociation #PSGCollegeOfTechnology #PSGSTEP

🏠✨ London in Lima: Strengthening the Strategy for the Housing Sector At the Terwilliger Center for Innovation in Shelter, part of Habitat for Humanity International, we believe in collaborating with academic institutions to develop high-impact strategies. That's why we welcomed students from the Full-time MBA program at London Business School as part of the #LimaGlobalExperience2025. This program allowed 12 students from over five countries to gain firsthand insights into Peru’s housing sector and contribute solutions to two major challenges: 🏡 Supporting ShelterTech Startups to innovate in affordable housing. The key recommendation was to strengthen the presence of fintechs in our portfolio, making financing options more accessible for both businesses and families. 🔨 Supporting SMEs in the construction sector to build more affordable housing. It was identified that the key to their sustainability lies in economies of scale—building multiple homes in the same area to optimize costs and logistics. Over the course of a week, teams worked closely with LAC team through work sessions, culminating in the presentation of their findings and recommendations—critical inputs for strengthening our impact. 💡 A big thank you to London Business School and the talented Full-time MBA students for their dedication and contributions. Let’s keep driving housing innovation forward together! #HousingInnovation #SocialImpact #ShelterTech #LBS #WeAreHabitat 

On January 31, we partnered once again with Sa-Dhan Association, hosting a successful Conclave on “Deepening Financial Inclusion through Micro Housing Finance” in New Delhi. The event brought together key stakeholders from microfinance institutions, non-banking financial companies, housing finance companies, impact investors, and think-tanks to discuss affordable housing challenges and solutions around housing finance. We were honored to have Shri Gaya Prasad, from the Ministry of Rural Development, and Vishal Goyal from the National Housing Bank sharing their insights on how sector players can better collaborate. Patrick McAllister, Director of Financial Policy and Regulation at the Terwilliger Center also led an engaging fireside chat. A big thank you to all the speakers and partners who contributed to meaningful discussions and actionable solutions. This Conclave marked a significant step toward expanding access to affordable housing finance and highlighting successes that already exist. #FinancialInclusion #MicroHousingFinance #AffordableHousing #SaDhan #MFIs #NBFCs #HousingFinance #Microfinance #SRO

🤝 New Partnerships to Keep Innovating in Housing! At the Terwilliger Center for Innovation in Shelter part of Habitat for Humanity International, we are pleased to announce our partnership with La Firme a key collaboration to strengthen access to formal housing solutions in Latin America. 🏡 Through this alliance, we aim to adapt and scale the Guardian Constructor (GC) Program in Peru—a holistic service that integrates guidance, support, and incremental housing solutions centered around families. With GC, families can access a model tailored to their needs at every stage of the process: from municipal procedures, architectural design, and engineering to construction, supervision, and property registration. Financing remains a key factor for success. 🚀 We firmly believe that innovation and collaboration among stakeholders are essential to closing the housing gap and enabling more families to access safe and adequate housing. #HousingInnovation #IncrementalConstruction #AdequateHousing #SocialImpact #GuardianConstructor

#DidYouKnow In the Philippines, Habitat’s Terwilliger Center for Innovation in Shelter turns to media to reach low-income households who otherwise might not have access to quality information about building. "I learned that building an affordable house is possible,” said Atomz Ybañez, a listener to the radio call-in program "Pulido."
