Earth Hands and Houses is a non-profit organisation set up in 1997 with the vision to enable people to build their own shelter. It achieves this through a program of demonstration projects, workshops, presentations, and other services. Our main focus is to encourage the application of low-tech, affordable, sustainable building techniques, utilising indigenous building materials and easily accessible methods. We believe there is no ?one? technique as a solution to the world's housing needs, but an endless combination of materials and techniques. Each place is different, each culture is different, and therefore each home should be a response to this specific need.
