Shipping Container to Shelter the Million of Haitians in need of Housing

Haiti Earthquake has left the country in a dire state. Over 2 million people are without adequate shelter and living in tents. Relief in the form of shipping container housing is in progress, but HELP IS NEEDED. We have been in contact with Richard Moreta this week and his team from , Green Container International Aid, he has been working on securing a large number of used shipping containers for use in their Container Cities. Moreta,  specifically needs help amplifying message to authorities, those in power or with business connections to donate shipping containers and help save lives.  
Please Read On and Spread The WORD!

Green Container International Aid is a group of people working towards providing real housing solutions to the victims of the earthquake, planning on helping C.H.Foundation reaching out their goal in the building of a Sustainable Art & Design School and right now they need urgently a massive donation of shipping containers sent to Haiti to provide emergency shelters.

The emergency shelters will at first be fairly basic, enough to last through the hurricane season. The shipping containers will first be outfitted with a new paint job, a green roof, rain water collector and storage units, a shading screen, and screen doors to keep out mosquitoes.

After emergency shelters have been provided additional work can be done on the container homes to make them more livable and comfortable. 

 

Ideally these units would be outfitted with solar panels and wind energy systems to provide off-grid power rather than relying on the grid.

Time is running out though and the organization needs thousands of containers to provide adequate housing for the victims. Support their efforts by spreading the word and hopefully we can convince some larger companies to donate their used containers with everyone help.

The shipping containers also can be stacked on top of one another to create apartments style buildings to accommodate more people.

If you are reading this blog and you know of a company that can help please forward us their info and if you can help contact us as soon as possible.

 What Haiti can be tomorrow depend from all of us and not only from the government and others.

Whatever you can do to help, please reach out. We need all of you.

Thank you.
