GROUNDWORK

GROUNDWORK INSTITUTE is a non-profit organization concerned with creating low cost, environmentally sound communities based on the participation of the people who live in them. The Institute has its roots in a series of projects undertaken by a group of architects, builders, and environmental professionals to assist people in developing countries and disadvantaged communities in the U.S. It started its first project in 1979 and was incorporated in 1982... Groundwork's projects have been supported with financial contributions from foundations, church groups and individuals. The largest part of our support for international projects has come from time donated by top level environmental professionals including architects, planners, specialists in sewage, solar energy, engineers and builders. We work with disadvantaged communities in several countries and the U.S. We expect the community we work with to provide the local resources. We undertake to provide high level technical assistance..
