The concept of ‘Sweat Equity’ was initially employed in the United States by Co-operatives for real estate projects. In the mid-20th century, the American Friends Service Committee introduced the idea of sweat equity in the Penn Craft self-help housing project. Families came together to build homes, using labour and sweat as equity.
