Tackling Nepal’s Housing Crisis
Across Nepal, millions of families live in inadequate housing, vulnerable to extreme weather and constant structural deterioration. Traditional bamboo homes, while culturally significant and widely used, often lack the durability needed to withstand monsoons, landslides, and earthquakes—leaving families trapped in a cycle of rebuilding and financial insecurity.
Through Cement Bamboo Frame Technology (CBFT), a more sustainable and resilient approach to housing is emerging. By treating and reinforcing bamboo with modern construction techniques, CBFT provides families with disaster-resistant homes while fostering a local bamboo economy that creates jobs and supports communities.
This video explores Nepal’s housing challenges, the role of CBFT in building safer homes, and the long-term impact of sustainable housing solutions. By strengthening infrastructure and providing economic opportunities, CBFT is paving the way for a more stable and self-sufficient future.
