Puerto Rico is US territory, but it's inhabitants are Caribbean people finding ways to confront the same challenges we face throughout the region.
Learn how our Caribbean brothers and sisters in Puerto Rico used an innovative land trust to provide communal rights, housing stability and economic opportunities.
The Trust works on rehousing and new housing projects for the benefit of members.
The trust solves the historical problem of lack of legal access to land and gives credit and permits necessary to improve houses.
Through the rental of vacant plots and other strategies, private investment is stimulated, which strengthens the economy of families.
If you are interested in exploring this option, members of our network in Puerto Rico will guide you.

As the wider world braces for the climate change, Caribbean communities are already struggling with its effects. Small local communities, small scale farmers and coastal communities are disproportionately affected. Political decisions, power dynamics and laws often compound the catastrophes and silence bottom up solutions.
There are ways in which you can help.
