Earthbag Shelter in Haiti





Check out this awesome earthbag project in Haiti. Earthbag homes are being built all over Haiti to help resettle residents made homeless by the devastating earthquake. Earthbag homes are inherently resistant to earthquakes and other such natural disasters. Of course being so inexpensive to make helps as well, as it usually always seems to be the impoverished that suffer the most from these disasters.


I am impressed by the incredible detailing going into the doors and windows; that level of finishing really creates a "home".
