One of PAKSBAB's initial accomplishments was to develop a system for manufacturing straw bales from manually operated farm jacks and locally fabricated compression moulds.

In 2006 PAKSBAB built a straw bale women's community center in Jabori followed by a residence and associated training course in Hillkot. 

In 2007 we collaborated with the organization Salamat-e-Hazara / TEAM on a residence / training course in Qalanderabad and on a subsequent 3-house project in Mansehra and Shinkiari. We are currently assisting a former trainee build his straw bale home in Battal.

PAKSBAB has received preliminary endorsement from Pakistan's Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority (ERRA) and approval for the construction of 20 straw bale widow's houses.  We are actively pursuing additional pilot projects and training programs.
