Maxwell Marshall - Green Housing
Loading...
Uploaded by socialedge on Jun 25, 2008
Maxwell Marshall, a 36-year old Nigerian, launched Green Housing just after being elected an Ashoka Fellow.
His goal: to provide home ownership to low- and medium-income earners, in large part by replacing conventional construction methods with bamboo. Bamboo is less costly and much more environmental-friendly than steel and cement.
Maxwell Marshall had a personal experience with homelessness, as he had to sleep on the reception's couch of his office when he was starting out.
In this short interview, he shares his advice with Global X: "Do something because you believe in it. It may take you a long time to succeed, but if you believe in it, you will find perseverance, confidence and the right resources."
