"...to greatly reduce deaths, injuries and economic losses caused by housing collapses due to earthquakes in developing countries. [This means] single family houses built with inputs from Build Change in seismically active developing countries are resistant to earthquakes and other natural disasters, and [that government] building codes are enforced or construction practices are permanently changed so that houses built in the absence of external funding and technical support are also earthquake resistant."So far, Build Change has helped create ~20K safer houses for over 70K people with a team of 60 people, 90% of whom are locals in their operating countries Indonesia, China, and Haiti.
