If you’re reading my blog, you probable understand the importance of being able to define and claim your ownership of property - it affects the stability of your living situation, your ability to qualify for (micro)finance, and your ability to even get a job by having a “real” address. Not to mention the obvious personal dignity values of having a place you can call your home, and the hands-down value in women’s land ownership in stabilizing communities.

Vote Now! As part of our competition process we let the world decide who among our finalists have the best ideas, giving everyone the ability to crown the winners. So go and read the ideas of the semi-finalists, create an account and vote for your favorites at https://www.changemakers.com/property-rights/semifinalists#tab-section
