This clearly makes no sense.... but I'd like to see it go on. I think since donors have to feel good about themselves they won't just donate concrete and bricks. And since NGO's can't build houses that are not up to code they can't just use local labour. So this might work. Earthship houses have shown after decades of having a cheap house design with cheap materials, that's not enough to solve the problem. Watch the docos read between the lines. The actual benefit here might even be the fact the NGO makes the government give land titles for under the houses.
