Techo Latam / Google: Address The Invisible, powered by Google

Last February, the Techo Association in collaboration with Google unveiled a large-scale project. "Address The Invisible, powered by Google," is a social initiative where technology dignified communities that no one had seen before, projecting a better life for forgotten families in Mexico who do not have decent housing, let alone an address. These people even lack basic services and are not recognised by the government. Techo is an Association recognised throughout Latin America for building houses in informal settlements. So, in collaboration with Google and using their geolocation technology called Plus Codes, Techo also gave them an address, putting these communities on the map for the first time so that they can complete basic procedures such as having an official identification, receiving mail, or being able to access emergency services, such as calling an ambulance.
