Here's a story about how members of the Changemakers community are finding innovative ways to create infrastructure improvements:

What makes a street worthy of an upgrade in cash strapped Guadalajara? Israel Moreno can tell you. Creator of Patrimonio Hoy, an innovative housing improvement initiative run by the Cemex Corporation, he found that once families have succeeded in improving their homes, they start looking for ways to improve their neighborhood.

Building on a savings club system established by Patrimonio Hoy, Moreno helped Cemex Corporation set up Calle Digna, which translates as Worthy Street. Members of a community team up to make payments to help cover the purchase of cement and other necessary materials to pave the roads, build sidewalks, and install drains and water mains.
