Mindanao Land Foundation, Inc. (MinLand) was created to respond to the complex development problems of poor communities in the Philippines . Incorporated in 1989, MinLand believes that housing is not simply land and structures but should be a continuing process of building relationships among families within a community and between the community and its environment. As such, MinLand envisions a society of socially cohesive and sustainable communities where families can live in security, with dignity and integrity.
