This year, we were able to help BuildOn and the community in Khakh build a new school. It’s the first real school building the village has ever had, and it’s likely that members of the community, inspired by this first school, will be organizing to build a second one soon.

A building is more than shelter. It’s a flag, a placeholder, a symbol of commitment. A school like this transforms the culture, and will make a lifelong difference for thousands of people.

If you want to change the world, change the systems. And buildings are a fine place to start.

Tens of thousands of miles away, we’re also able to help rebuild housing with the Fuller Center.

The ocean is made of drops.
