for Tsunami Survivors and counting!! So far in the area devastated by the tsunami in Indonesia, we have built 33 houses by hiring and training local builders, and improved the design and construction of over 2,500 houses built by partner organizations. For more information about our Aceh programs and partners, click here. |

Build Change designs and trains builders to build houses that are :
- SAFE - the houses do not cause deaths and injuries during earthquakes
- SATISFACTORY - culturally appropriate and comfortable
- SUSTAINABLE - built with materials and earthquake-resistant technology that will continue to be used after our program ceases.
