The Fuller Center will build homes in Haiti in partnership with Lazarian World Homes–beginning as early as March.

Lazarian World Homes designed a 16′x16′ home using styrofoam blocks, concrete and rebar that can be built for less than $3,000. The house forms will be assembled in the Dominican Republic at a plant Lazarian World Homes already has established there.

Encourage your friends or church to sponsor a home in Haiti.
