The first is a South African company called Moladi, which utilizes a unique plastic injection molded technology to produce cast-in-place mortar structures. The process allows unskilled laborers to use indigenous materials to quickly and cheaply construct high standard permanent buildings that are earthquake, cyclone and tsunami resistant. With the intended purpose of "housing the nations", the construction technology addresses four key challenges embodied in the low cost housing shortages facing developing countries, namely: lack of resources, insufficient funds, shortage of skills, and time constraints.

Another comes from a recently established non-profit organization Tunga Tunga Trust in Namibia 'Tunga Tunga' is an Oshi-wambo word for 'build and empower the nation through cheaper housing'. The group is constructing inexpensive movable houses are made from metallic sandwich panels which are fire and weather resistant. The insides of the walls consist of white chrome which keeps the house warm during winter and cool during summer.

Finally, FUUVAL aims to promote the social integration of the informal sector and people with low incomes, through the construction of affordable housing, in Central and in Latin America

Does anyone else know of any other interesting housing technologies aimed at the BOP?
