International Green Structures, Llc

Description

• International Green Structures (IGS), founded in 2012, with offices in Stevensville, MD and Nairobi, Kenya, offers the solution to the global housing crisis. According to the United Nations, globally, 827 million people are living in urban slums with 24 million alone in Africa. By 2020, the effects of urban migration and population growth will create a housing need for over 1 billion people. To meet this need, IGS takes a renewable resource, the agricultural residue of rice and wheat harvests, to manufacture Compressed Agriculture Fiber (CAF) Panels, which when combined with our pre-engineered framing system, results in IGStructures.IGStructures are durable, affordable, can be built significantly faster than traditional building methods, and are designed to international building codes. They can be temporary or permanent, are culturally adaptable, and are ideal for single and multifamily homes, schools, healthcare facilities, large-scale accommodations, remote worker sites, and humanitarian needs.IGS also offers a sustainable economic model to help lift emerging countries out of poverty and a cycle of dependency. The IGS economic model involves building a local manufacturing facility and working with local farmers and agricultural companies to provide a secondary source of income for their residue and increase crop production and food security. It also means providing more jobs for the harvesting, transportation, manufacturing, and construction sectors, utilizing up to 95% local labor.IGS believes this model offers the most viable, cost effective solution to the global housing crisis and beyond. IGS has successfully built affordable homes in Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, and the United States. For more information, visit: www.IGStructures.com or contact Marjorie Cota at BuildGreen@IGStructures.com.
