Abstract:In the Seychelles at least until 1970 house building was not even keeping pace with the increasing population, never mind coping with increasing expectations. The author recounts his experience doing voluntary service on a self-help housing project. It was possible to get skilled and unskilled Syechellois to join together outside working hours on an unpaid co-operative basis. So permanent low-cost housing units were built at negligible cost and with minimal financial assistance.
