For millions of people around the world, “home” is not the refuge it should be. As climate change intensifies it brings stronger storms, rising waters, and sudden earthquakes, leaving families unsure whether the walls around them can withstand the next disaster.

Build Change steps into that space of uncertainty and helps transform them into strength. The organization’s story began in 2004, when earthquake engineer Dr. Elizabeth Hausler walked through communities in Asia recovering from major earthquakes. She observed a critical gap during post-disaster reconstruction: the new rebuilding methods often failed to produce disaster-resilient homes, mirroring the weaknesses in original construction. She knew there had to be a better way. That realization became the foundation for Build
