Furthermore, as part of its growth and institutionalization progress, since 2009 was included in its name “Fundación Vivienda.”;(Housing Foundation); so that now the Trust is recognized as: Fundación Vivienda.Fideicomiso Proviváh.
Proviváh is a private trust established by Mexican businessmen in order to support Mexican families with lower incomes living in overcrowded or unsafe places such as near cliffs or riverbanks.
Our mission
The trust was created in December 1999. Since then its goal is to raise funds from companies and society to build and provide decent and safe houses to Mexican families living in asset poverty. All this is done non for profit nor politic.
Fideicomiso Proviváh is a donatee authorized by the Tax Administration System; therefore, all donations received, financial or in kind, are tax deductible.
Throughout its history, the Fideicomiso Proviváh has maintained the principle of allocating 100% of raised funds by donations to house-building.
Why work to support house-building?
Fundación Vivienda. Fideicomiso Proviváh founders decided to help solve the problem of homelessness among the most vulnerable sectors of society, as they know housing is a very important factor on families and societies development, for it is:
- The most valuable asset for Mexican families.
- An important source of job creation.
- A fundamental justice factor and social stability.
- A mean to achieve rooting and strengthening of communities, and thus, of society.
Nowadays Mexico is facing a big problem with housing, especially among the poorest sectors of society, who have no access to INFONAVIT and FOVISSSTE loan, and are definitely not subscribed to any banking or financial institution.
Due to the lack of opportunities, these families have been compelled to live in unsafe places near riverbanks and cliffs, or severe overcrowded dwellings.
Many activities that promote the improvement of living standards of individuals, and society in general stem from this determining factor.
