Coinbase Giving and New Story Homes have teamed up to build homes for low income families in El Salvador.
New Story Homes has built over 125 homes using 3 main strategies.
1) Innovation - developing new building materials, new methods, cheaper and better
2) New ways to connect families to financial system, new financial products
3) Investing in 3D printing of homes
CoinBase Giving has now provided funding for more of the above. Coinbase Giving is the operational embodiment of their commitment to provide 1% of their profits, equity, and employee time toward charitable activities that leverage the power of crypto to increase economic freedom in the world.

Mike Peterson sits down with Renato Salazar from New Story Homes along with Darin S. Carter & Amir Edjlali of Coinbase Giving to discuss the success of providing not just housing, but a new financial structure for the un-banked.

"The great part is that now we're seeing that the people who are usually excluded from the system, they're getting first access to it. The way that the people in this house project are paying, they're accessing this payment system before the wealthy people in the US are. They're still in line waiting to send their wire. I love that!" - Mike Peterson
