Families have lost their homes, livelihoods, and security. RadicalHomes.org has been at the forefront of building durable, sustainable, and cyclone-resistant homes using only bamboo, recycled mosquito net, chicken wire, rebar, concrete and locally sourced labor. While this method has proven highly successful, the urgency of the current crisis demands a more efficient solution.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1734533179/ozu1wkdtmdjmq24fue3e.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;-webkit-user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%" /><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1734533250/z5m2tf08vothldzlxzuv.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;-webkit-user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%" />We are seeking funding to invest in a faster, scalable, and long-term solution by incorporating EcoShell inflatable structures and modern construction equipment into our building process. This investment will allow us to provide safe, permanent homes to cyclone-affected families in record time, without compromising on strength or sustainability. The Need<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1734531194/equf4py2pxoqrp3gauxr.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;-webkit-user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%" />    •    Devastation from Cyclone CHIDO: Entire villages have been flattened. Families are left exposed to the elements with temporary solutions like tin sheets or tarps. These “quick fixes” are not sustainable:    •    Tin roofs require expensive timber that is prone to termites and fire.    •    Tin rusts quickly, gets blown away by strong winds, and contributes to illegal logging.    •    Current Solution: Radical Homes’ dome home have been a success, producing homes that are:    •    Bulletproof, fireproof, termite-proof, and cyclone-proof.    •    Cost-effective at 3,400-3,800 USD per home.    •    Built with local labor, empowering communities.    •    However, each home takes 2-3 months to construct, which is too slow given the scale of this crisis.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1734531224/mqrb8bmxbaj8iozn2p5a.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;-webkit-user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%" />Our Solution: EcoShell Dome Homes To meet the immediate need for safe housing, we propose adopting EcoShell inflatable structures from MonolithicDomes.org. How EcoShell Works:     1.    Inflatable Airform: A durable inflatable shell is placed on the building site.    2.    Concrete Application: Using a ShotCrete squeeze pump, concrete is sprayed over the inflated Airform.    3.    Finishing: Once the concrete hardens, the Airform is deflated and removed, leaving behind a cyclone-proof, fireproof, termite-proof dome home.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1734532716/r74qszxax3fjid4dwl7o.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;-webkit-user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%" />Advantages of EcoShell Homes:     •    Speed: Each EcoShell home can be constructed in as little as 10-14 days.    •    Durability: The homes are cyclone-proof, fireproof, and require minimal maintenance.    •    Scalability: A single EcoShell Airform can be reused to build 100 homes.    •    Sustainability: The dome design reduces material usage while ensuring maximum strength. By shifting to EcoShell technology, we can provide hundreds of homes faster and more efficiently while reducing long-term costs. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1734532869/hj0nn0csj76txbsfcraq.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;-webkit-user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%" /><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1734532897/k8ntfafyk6g19k4dagr9.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;-webkit-user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%" />Project Requirements To implement this solution, we require funding to purchase and ship the essential equipment: Item                                                                               Quantity            Estimated Cost (USD)EcoShell Inflatable Structures                                      3 Airforms    $30,000ShotCrete Squeeze Pump                                                              1    $20,000Aluminum Ladders and Steel Scaffolding                                  Set   $5,000Concrete Mixers                                                                               2    $6,000Generators                                                                                         2    $7,000Industrial Blower Fans (for Airforms)                                             3    $3,000Total Initial Investment (shipment included)                                        $71,000 Anything beyond the goal above will be used to train our crew by constructing practice homes in our Village that we will donate to Families in desperate need.  Impact of the Investment     •    Homes Built Faster: With the EcoShell system, we can build homes in 10-14 days instead of 2-3 months.    •    Scalability: The same Airform can be used to build up to 100 homes, significantly reducing cost per unit over time.    •    Lower Long-Term Costs: Faster builds mean reduced labor costs.    •    Safe Shelter: Families will have permanent homes that can withstand cyclones, fires, and termites.    •    Community Empowerment: Local laborers will be trained in advanced construction techniques, empowering them with valuable skills.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1734533283/y5dmzhlvdu4npdooafeb.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;-webkit-user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%" />Why Funding is Urgent The families affected by Cyclone CHIDO cannot wait for slow or temporary solutions. Tarps and tin sheets only offer short-term relief, leaving them vulnerable to the next disaster. This project provides sustainable, long-term homes that will protect and uplift communities for generations to come. RadicalHomes.org has invested heavily in launching this initiative and building homes using only bamboo, recycled mosquito net, chicken wire, rebar, concrete. However, the scale of this crisis and the need for faster solutions exceed our current capacity. Your funding will enable us to meet this urgent need, build faster, and ensure families have safe homes before the next storm.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1734533380/hm1pk0g8fthzyv0ujto7.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;-webkit-user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%" />How You Can Help We are seeking $71,000 USD in funding to purchase the equipment necessary to implement the EcoShell housing project. Your contribution will directly impact hundreds of lives by providing:     •    Safe, permanent homes for cyclone-affected families.    •    Local job creation through construction and training.    •    Sustainable, long-term solutions that reduce reliance on unsustainable materials like timber and tin.
