More Than a Home

Homes are not the only community buildings that are destroyed during natural or man-made disasters. Schools, community centers, offices, retirement communities, and medical facilities are just some of the other types of structures that communities find themselves without after a disaster. For a community to thrive, much more is needed than houses themselves. Building the infrastructure, including the homes, is the first step to providing all the other support services that survivors need to create 'community' and move towards recovery.

Timing is essential. In the post-disaster phase survivor recovery relies on the emergence of steady-state life as quickly as possible. This means that children need classrooms, doctors need clinics, families need community centers, and officials need workspaces.

While Kauri Foundation is proud to rapidly provide both temporary and permanent homes to those in need, they can provide much more than that. While homes are essential, a socially and economically thriving community has a variety of other structural post-disaster needs. Kauri Foundation designed their structures to be adaptable to virtually any need. Flat-packed and ready to be assembled, Kauri Foundations structures have a standard configuration with a custom solution for any use a community may have.
