The Ghana team has been researching appropriate building technologies and environmental responses to deal with erosion control in the village of Gboloo Kofi, and two AWB volunteers will be travelling to Ghana late October to implement some of these findings, as well as assess conditions for potential future AWB design projects with Village by Village.
This research will also benefit two other projects we will are gearing up on in Africa – Grafton, Sierre Leone Community Buildings with All as One and Sudan Lost Boys School Compound with the Deng Ater Foundation. Come to the fundraiser for more information on these two projects as well.
Our goal is to raise $2000, which will be used to help design and build a prototype building. Any level of donation will be greatly appreciated. And if you can’t make it to the event, but still want to give please donate here:
