Eco-Friendly Shelters Protect Sichuan as Rainy Season Arrives


Give2Asia recently partnered with YouChange, a local Chinese organization to build eco-friendly and weather-resistant temporary shelters for victims of the April 20 earthquake in Sichuan Province, China. The shelters are made out of local bamboo and corrugated steel roofing. A total of 830 shelters will protect disaster-affected communities in the hardest hit areas of Sichuan Province.

YouChange developed the lightweight and easy to construct shelters following a 5.5-magnitude earthquake in Yunan Province in 2011. The shelters in Yunan survived aftershocks and monsoons, and continue to protect many affected families today.
