Builders Without Borders (BWB) is an international network of ecological builders who form partnerships with communities and organizations around the world to create affordable housing from local materials and to work together for a sustainable future. They believe the solution to homelessness is not merely housing, but a local population trained to provide housing for themselves.
BWB is supporting PAKSBAB with educational materials and has donated books and training materials for our use. We are revising and translating their publication "Strawbale Construction Curriculum" into Urdu for use in our training courses. They also offer networking and fundraising assistance to PAKSBAB. BWB is a project of NetWorks Productions, a 501(c)3 registered organization.
The California Straw Building Association's (CASBA) mission is to further the practice of straw building by exchanging current information and practical experience, promoting and conducting research and testing, and making that body of knowledge available to working professionals and the public at large.
CASBA is paying our web hosting fees and is offering complementary memberships to our Pakistani PAKSBAB colleagues. They assist us in fundraising and have donated funds towards our research project. CASBA is a non-profit project of The Tides Center.
