Build Change delivers sustainable, post- and pre-disaster construction services in developing countries. What makes Build Change unique is how we deliver those services. Build Change uses a sustainable, homeowner-driven approach (versus a standard donor-driven approach) that drives long-term change and impacts in construction practice ? to one that is safe, earthquake-resistant, culturally appropriate and widely accepted by local communities at all socio-economic levels.
Build Change presents innovative, market-based solutions that give financial service providers the needed incentives for them to collaborate with homeowners who do not normally qualify for home loans, and homeowners the ability to access capital to make life-saving improvements to their homes or build earthquake-resistant homes. These sustainable solutions not only reduce the risk for disaster, but they also save thousands of lives, reduce damage and save millions of dollars in response efforts.
