Hybrid Home Program
Affordable Housing
The Hybrid Home Program aims to support families living in extreme poverty with access to adequate housing. It is a two-room home built from traditional materials, cement flooring, and a corrugated metal sheet roof. It takes 2-4 weeks to complete the construction of the home. Every family is provided with a Healthy Home Kit comprised of a water filter, sanitary latrine, smokeless stove, water collection system, and a washing station to support good health and hygiene. The Hybrid Home Program is complemented by training programs on topics such as financial education and home hygiene, encouraging local empowerment and ancommunity development.
It's a holistic program which not only gives shelters to people in need but also supports them from all aspects of live, including the knowledge and capability of building their own house and protecting their self-esteem at the same time. Worth supporting!
