Hexayurt-Haiti

Science for Humanity is facilitating research and development to aid charities, community groups and not-for-profit groups trial and test Hexayurts in Haiti.

As the project progresses we expect those organisations who are working on the ground to use us a resource for building, engineering and even research advice.

In return we ask that everyone updates the network on their experiences - good and bad - in words, photos and video, so that the network can share and learn, and the Hexayurt plans be updated with that learning.

Science for Humanity cannot take responsibility for the use of the materials published on this or any other site. We will do our best to facilitate and publish requests for information, plans and developments but cannot be held responsible either for the thoughts of those who respond, the discussions which take place or the implementation of hexayurt projects.

We have three resources:
