A sheltered family
Without a safe and comfortable roof, daily life becomes difficult, if not impossible
problematic
Just imagine. It's 45° outside, the heat is exhausting. You go back into your house to get in the shade, and the Temperature rises to 50°. The air is barely breathable. Your home, built with sheet metal, should serve as a refuge, but is ultimately unusable for you and yours. This reality is that of Millions of families in sub-Saharan Africa, who live in extremely difficult conditions. They lack the financial and technical resources to building a dignified house while solutions exist to relieve them...
THE SOLUTION: A ANCESTRAL TECHNIQUE 3,000 YEARS OLD
There is a Ancestral African solution simple and effective used for centuries and then forgotten in favor of unsuitable and polluting materials: the construction of raw earth houses.
This construction method is economical 💰, ecological 🌳 and sustainable 🌍, offering a viable alternative to expensive and imported building materials.
The construction of mud houses contributes to the preservation of the environmentand by using local land and reducing carbon emissions.
“Before, when I came back from the fields under the sun, I didn't have the courage to go back to my house because it was too hot. I had already rebuilt my sheet metal house 5 times because of the weather. Today my family and I feel safe and secure in our new earthen house.”

Our places of intervention
Act for the shift
Raw earth construction is cheaper than traditional construction methods. The materials are local and inexpensive, which reduces transportation and labor costs.
Raw earth buildings are durable and can last for decades. Thick walls provide good thermal insulation, which is essential for storing crops.
Raw earth buildings have a stable indoor temperature, which is important for the preservation of food and crops. They are also weather and fire resistant.
Raw earth construction is an ecological solution, as it uses local and natural materials, thus reducing the environmental impact.
