Project 1 – Vanuatu, October 2005

The Problem:
Expensive, inappropriate building methods, leading to ‘hot’ low quality housing on this, poor tropical Pacific Island.

Vanuatu - old house

The Solution:
Technical assistance to install and train a local team to manage of tile making machine for Habitat for Humanity.

BII sent Malcolm Alcock out establish a workshop to produce high quality roof tiles for low-cost housing.

The result was this superb demonstration house which is far superior to the standard block and zinc sheeting methods normally used.

Vanuatu - new house

The project has since constructed a further 4 homes.

Vanuatu - tile making machine
Vanuatu - tile moulds
Vanuatu - Augustina Garae - beneficiary of new house

“I am very glad that I have this new style of home and I am very proud of it.  It is a good strong house that will last a long time. 

I want to say thank you very much to Build It and Habitat for Humanity for helping me and answering my families need.

Thank you to the company for seeing my families need. 

Thank You, Augustina Garae.”
