Emergency Architects is a not for profit organisation that sends experienced architects and other built environment specialists to disaster areas to work alongside aid agencies, local communities and governments, and funding institutions to rebuild devastated areas in a sustainable way. Together they develop appropriate and sustainable strategies for each phase of disaster relief. Emergency Architects believes the construction of permanent rather than temporary structures and using local materials delivers a faster long-term result. We are currently raising funds to continue our reconstruction work.
How will the funds be used?
- PNG, East Awin refugee settlement wash project with UNHCR
- Solomon Islands latrine program
- School Toilets/Water Project in Maliana, Timor Leste
- Pool and latrines for children with Disabilities in Jodhpur India
Key Areas of Expenditure
Short term on-site assessment projects: allow us to assess the situation and determine what needs to be done.
Long term projects of reconstruction: working with local people, local materials and methods to help rebuild areas devastated by disaster in a sustainable way.
