Mission & Social Impact

Suyo unlocks the social and economic benefits of property for low-income families by providing affordable and reliable property formalization services. Globally, over 4.5 billion land parcels are informal, and 140 countries do not have effective property administration systems. Looking specifically to Latin America, approximately 60% of families have not registered their property.

Families living on informal property miss out on numerous benefits that could potentially lift them out of poverty, such as access to loans, protection from eviction and the ability to transfer rights. With the economic boost of formalized property, families are able to make home improvements, send children to school and invest in small businesses.

Research has shown that secure property rights benefit the poor in numerous ways: 

• 12% increase in loan approval rates

• 3.8 times more income for women property owners

• 150% increase in annual family income

• Doubled investments in property improvements

• Female landowners are 8 times less likely to experience domestic violence

Accurate, up-to-date property data also enables governments to plan more effectively and improve social services.

Suyo’s primary customers are low­-income families residing in informal settlements in Latin America. Based on our market analysis and model, we aim to directly impact 571,600 primary customers with formal property and indirectly impact 1,420,000 lives with the broader societal benefits of property formalization over the next 5 years.
