Temporary Houses after the Rubble was cleared

These photos show what was once a neighborhood of Chincha.
This is all that is left after the earthquake.

Notice the trash that is accumulating in the foreground. It is rubble and trash from the earthquake, buried when the city regraded the demolished neighborhoods.

Notice the adobe blocks being accumulated for rebuilding this house.
This family is living in the makeshift tent while they produce adobe blocks for rebuilding their home.
Our project aims to provide a community workshop on earthquake-resistant adobe construction, so that the next house they build will be safe and sturdy in the next earthquake.
