About Us

In 2006, Doug Sharp put together a team of architects within BSB Design with one goal: design a sturdy home, with lightweight materials, that would be easy to ship and could be built in one day by one family. All this for as little money as possible.

After discovering that many of the local children did not attend school because they could not afford to, 2 American teachers founded RHO Appleseed School in Lukasa, Zambia in November 2011. The school now serves 130 children (and growing), 5 days a week and provides 2 meals per day for the children. Homes are needed for the school director, teachers and children and families in crisis. The goal is to build the homes in a community setting in July 2014 on school grounds.
