LJUrban's Commitment


The commitment is simple: for every eco-urban house LJUrban sells, we will fund the training of a local mason to build sustainable homes for families in West Africa. We hope the long-term impact of this commitment means entire villages throughout West Africa will experience dramatic socio-economic transformation.

We’re starting this commitment by partnering with the Association La Voûte Nubienne (AVN), an incredible team that has spent the last 10 years designing and developing a socially, economically and ecologically sustainable housing option for people in Burkina Faso, one of the poorest nations in the world. In October, 2007, their achievement was recognized by the prestigious TechAwards.
