GoodLiving.Eco Foundation

The mission of our organization is to build climate resilient and green housing for low income communities. Our vision is to make climate smart housing a mainstream for the marginalized.

Why we work with the low income groups?

Climate change is a growing cause for the loss of livelihoods and devastated homes. Research shows that the poorest 20% on earth are 1.8 times more likely to live in fragile homes. 

​Whether it be cyclones, floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes, forest fires, erratic or increased rainfall, the low-income communities are the most vulnerable groups to climate shocks. They are not only more exposed but also find it is very difficult to recover and bounce back from these disasters.

Why we see green housing as a way to go?

Emissions related to the construction sector constitute around 40% of the total carbon emissions worldwide. Hence, any further addition in the building stock should be green, avoiding the mainstream methods that considerably contribute to aggravate the problem.

What we do?

We build climate resilient and green housing for low income groups, based on the six themes as mentioned below -

1. Green material for building (as much as possible)
2. Energy
3. Sanitation
4. Water
5. Waste Management
6. Food Security
