Rankovce: “From Shack into a 3E House”

Rudo (25) and his wife Maria (22) with their daughters and son Kevin in front of their new home. The family is among those who joined the micro loan program in Rankovce to built themselves their own house with the support of the NGO ETP Slovakia. Self-construction helps to demolish stereotyped views about people from socially excluded communities, whom the majority population regards as abusers of social benefits, socially dependent, incapable, passive and constantly reliant upon state assistance. The approach gives people the opportunity to take care of themselves.
