Joel is one of the co-founders of SDI. This globally recognized initiative began in 1991 when he teamed up with visionary Indian slum dweller Jockin Arputham, linking South African shack dwellers with Indian Pavement Dwellers. The result has been the evolution of a trans-national movement of the urban poor that now spans 34 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Joel is the Managing Director of SDI's Cape Town based Secertariat.
