希望能为饥饿 - 海地

我们一直在期待着这一天自从我们第一次了解到海地今年1月发生破坏性地震留下过 250,000 人死亡和流离失所的另一 1.2 百万.

参观完 海地 去年六月，我们知道我们的住房解决方案能够重建这个国家发挥关键作用. 今天的报告告诉我们， 85% 人们仍然生活在难民营的帐篷. 重建 海地 将需要数十年. Today we are pleased to announce that Hope for the Hungry will be utilizing our technology as part of Hope’s Fresh Start Haiti program. Fresh Start Haiti is more than just building new homes, it’s about creating jobs and breaking the cycle of poverty. IADDIC’s DuraMold will be at the center of a construction job training program that can lift hundreds out of poverty into a secure and sustainable living environment. The teach-to-fish approach to reconstruction is what the Shelter the World principles were developed for and we are honored to partner with the Hope for the Hungry organization.

Based in Belton, TX, 希望饥民 is a non-profit NGO that operates in 16 countries with a heavy concentration in Haiti. 85% of their 100+ structures were damaged in the 2010 earthquake and need replacement. IADDIC has been selected as the housing technology to replace most of these homes. Hope also plans to establish a new construction company based on the IADDIC system to create jobs and meet the needs of the 1.5 million homes of Haiti. Hope will likely become IADDIC’s primary local resource for coordinating projects throughout Haiti as they have over 30 years experience and influence throughout the country. This first shipment comes after an extensive pilot program that was conducted at their Belton home office. They have purchased a DuraMold and materials to build the iHouse communities in Haiti. IADDIC will be sending a team to Haiti to oversee the training program once the container has been received through customs. This shipment takes place in less than 2 周. www.hopeforthehungry.org
