Affordable amphibious housing solution for Climate Adaptation
Bibiana Jurado Aug 23, 2012 02:57 ![]() |
Hi,
I just found this forum and would like to share this information with you.
We are a Nicaraguan-based social business, leaders in the construction of affordable eco-housing solutions in Nicaragua and Haiti. After three years of successful experience in the field of Post Disaster Reconstruction, we are seeking our entry in the field of Climate Adaptation through the development of affordable bamboo-made amphibious houses for vulnerable communities living in flood prone areas.
We have launched a fundraising campaign for the construction of our first proof-of-concept amphibious house in Malacatoya, a Nicaraguan community seriously affected by floods every year:

Please do not hesitate to share this information with everyone that would be interested in contributing with this initiative and feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
For more information, please visit:

On behalf of CO2 Bambu and the Malacatoya community, we would be infinitely grateful if we could count on your support ande we are looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,

Thanks for this great info Bibiana. The Climate CoLab is planning future climate adaptation contests well suited to your plans. You'd then be very welcome to add a proposal. This would help you to build a team of collaborators and supporters from around the world. You could get helpful feedback from others, including expert judges.
New contests are announced in email newsletters to all CoLab community members (you joined when you registered for the site) and on twitter.
James
