#UPYA, nuestra #innovación constructiva para resolver el déficit de #vivienda de #Cartagena, ha comenzado! Esperamos que Pacho y su familia pasen Navidad estrenando casa. Y que esa casa dé #esperanza a muchas familias alrededor para mejorar su calidad de vida. Solo trabajeremos por personas que tengan papeles de posesión. El dato que nos mueve: si nuestro déficit de vivienda es hoy de 30.000 viviendas y en los últimos 10 años el promedio construido por año son 800...esto nos pone a mas de 30 años de resolver el problema!!! Se necesita una solución innovadora. La estamos prototipando. Si nos quieres ayudar por fa ve a www.goto.gg/27006 y dona dinero.
