The Homes for Hope Caribbean Disaster Mitigation programme hopes to provided temporary Modular Housing assistance to eligible victims of natural disasters anywhere within the Caribbean, lessons learned in the wake of hurricane Matthew devastation of Haiti, hurricane Maria devastation of Dominica and more recently hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas.

We hope to revolutionize not only the way homes are built after regional disasters, but to showcase a brand new way to provide low-income affordable housing everywhere in the Caribbean.

Alternative a 8' X 20' pod can be developed on site at the Mobile Emmedue factory and placed on a container trailor and driven to the site for instant erection.

One small bedroom 8' X 8' a bathroom 6' X 3' and a L shapped open plan lounge, kitchen and dining room. Leading out onto a covered patio, 12' X 6'.

Another design is one small master bedroom 8' X 8' a bathroom 6' X 3' a childrens bedroom with bunk bed and open plan lounge, kitchen and dining room.

Leading out onto a covered patio, 12' X 6' lounge area. This may be small, but it is a palace compared to how many Haitian are living now following hurricane Matthew.

Hurricane Matthew has killed nearly 900 people in Haiti and left tens of thousands of people homeless. The poorest country in the Western Hemisphere has never completely recovered from a devastating earthquake in 2010.

These pod villages could quickly be established in the worse affected areas in Haiti.

United Caribbean Trust was birthed in the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan and it has always been our desire to have a Disaster Mitigation arm to our organization.

Providing for the immediate emergency needs of disaster victims and/or emergency workers in large disaster-affected areas throughout the Caribbean. This would includes sheltering, feeding and/or direct distribution of relief supplies.

UCT has identified EMMEDUE®. as the building option for the new arm of our United Caribbean Trust ministry - Hope Housing Caribbean.

For over 30 years EMMEDUE® has been the market leader in manufacturing and marketing of an innovative, seismic resistant and thermally-insulating building systems.

Earthquake resistant:

Laboratory tests carried out showed that the structure withstands, with no damages, strains greater than those calculated for a First Class Earthquake, that is the maximum provided for by the Italian Earthquake regulation.
