In the Philippines, brightly coloured housing complexes are springing up all over the country. This is due to the efforts of a non-governmental organization that is providing slum dwellers with new homes in a bid to help them rebuild their lives and pull them out of poverty. In this unique project, residents are given responsibility for helping build their own homes and for managing their own communities. This episode of Asia Insight follows the NGO's efforts and the lives of slum dwellers turned homeowners as they take the first steps toward a better life.
