    <description><![CDATA["Shelter the homeless poor."  --The Book of Isaiah

Give the people a home.


That's our vision. We want homeless people everywhere to have clean, affordable shelter. Not living in doorways or in cardboard boxes or in stacks of garbage, as millions of people do now. 

We're designing blueprints for small, sustainable shelters that can be built quickly by volunteers in developing nations for the poorest of the poor. Perhaps these people have lost everything from war, disease or natural disasters. Maybe they've come from their ancestral homes to the cities to find work, but now they have no place to live. We just want to help. 

If you like this idea, we can talk with you about the rest:
