Although ferrocement.com roof laboratory research has been focused on low cost structures and development economics for many years, discovery that a sustainable future for all of us may depend upon shelter for the rural poor is recent and unanticipated. Read about this surprising entanglement and decide for yourself. Please note that the foreword to the complete biofiber manual listed above has been expanded to include this smaller brochure. That manual also includes the latest developments using ceramic base cement to make astoundingly inexpensive bindings for bamboo and sapling pole constructions.

The title has been expanded in some places to read; Shelter, Sustainability, Poverty and Peace. Content has been edited to clarify that this is not a naive or utopian dream to romanticize rural life. Poverty is a chronic ill, it should be treated before it becomes an overwhelming emergency. No one can insulate themselves from poverty; though it is impossible to know specifically how much better our lives will be without the surrounding pain and suffering from poverty, each and everyone of us will be better off when the poor have shelter, clean water and a healthy diet.

We can do this. We can help one another right here, right now. Buy a brochure and send another. It's worth a try. As you read this a school teacher is experimenting with a personal home to convince local authorities that biological fibers are good enough to build a school. One teacher is brave enough to try with just a little help from ferrocement.com. Imagine all the people working for peace, health and happiness instead of spending trillions on endless war, it's not that hard to do ....

This entire area of funding needs some kind of agent so much needed projects can be incorporated into some sort of a roving water and shelter training system as well as establishing public water works which are paid for by customers as they become cooperative owners. Funding required is small per project compared to potentially huge positive results, it is large overall because the world and its problems are large.
