Sustainable Building in Haiti

On my  last trip to Port au Prince, I spent a lot of time interviewing architects, builders, contractors and other NGO’s involved with  the reconstruction effort Haiti.

“We will continue to raise money for our orphanage partners who need new buildings and renovations” (- HORP founder Mike Mahon) “But now we are seeing that there is money available for organizations that specialize in what we do which is sustainable  building.  From solar panel and alternative energy solutions to water conservation and optimal building design, the need for sustainable building in Haiti is very strong.

Combining our experience as builders with our orphanage renovation model using Haitian labor and materials, we are very optimistic about our ability to raise funds to help re-build.
