Low Cost Housing Developments
Once again I am reaching out the the Acumen Fund Community for your expertise and insight. My foundation is very interested in developing a low cost housing community in/around Mombasa, Kenya. I want to see as many similar projects as I can. Does anybody know of any such rural communities being constructed in Africa? Does anyone know of micro mortgage plans, banks, ngos etc? Thanks, Taylor See More

- I'm in the New York office, so sadly I won't get to share a meal with you there. Although, the food alone makes me wish I were in Hyderabad. And yes, I'll be working with SSE again in the fall, Acumen and a couple other teams as well. My summer here has been awesome, there are so many top caliber people working here!
Since you're over there, I know the Acumen India office had a couple postings on NextBillion. You ought to give them a look.

- Hey Taylor, great to see a fellow Cougar here on the site. I'm interning here at Acumen over the summer and heading back to Provo for more work with SSE in the fall. Here on the site, you ought to check out our India group, there are great resources and connections to be made there.
So what's next for you in Hyderabad, is this a long term move?
