About

THE ASSOCIATION AFW - ADOBE FOR WOMEN

Adobe for Women is a non-profit humanitarian association founded on the 21 January 2011.
It is based on three fundamental pillars: Construction, Sustainability and Empowerment. It seeks to build sustainably for those who are in need and, through their active participation in all phases of the project, ensure the development of construction techniques that are useful in their daily routine as well as becoming a viable source of income. The familiarity of the selected materials (carefully chosen depending on the intervention’s location) leads to an immediate feeling of closeness to the project, which in the long run suggests a well maintained building.
