Bay – Build Foundation: A Farm For Peaceful Rebels
This project will establish a globally certified building system that provides engineered steel frames for use in refugee and affordable housing development. Our versatile building system allows for local production of steel framing for use in a variety of local, user-defined projects. The first project will support a small farm in Colombia that is training ex-FARC rebels to become farmers.
Through partnerships with local builders and non-profits, this project will provide a steel frame that will shelter farmers near Cali Colombia. The frame will last for over 50 years, and can be repurposed for a variety of needs. This system can be repeated all over Colombia for a variety of projects including housing of Venezuelan refugees. The equipment to make our frame is also available in over 100 other countries around the world. This project will serve as a global model for providing efficient, effective development, using 100% local resources.
