Zip Tie Domes is working with Mr. Clement Cupido of the Agricultural Research Council, University of the Western Cape, Bellville, South Africa - to provide low cost shelters to the Nama herders near Kharkams, Namaqualand, South Africa.

Namaqualand is a semi-arid region along the northern west coast of South Africa. Mr. Clement Cupido and Zip Tie Domes are offering our services at no charge to the local Kamiesberg Heritage Foundation to use the funding they have received to build about 30 low cost shelters for the Nama herders most in need.

All of the dome parts have been manufactured in South Africa by Clement Cupido and Randall Albertus for this project. The dome structures are made from standard plumbing pipe available locally in South Africa.

From John Hurt, Zip Tie Domes:

If you are charity, and you need to provide low cost shelter for the homeless, then contact me, and I will be glad to issue you a license and share the technical details on how to build geodesic domes for the homeless, at no charge. All you need is some plumbing pipe, and a few tools.

Let's work together to make the world a better place, by providing homes for the homeless. As Christ said, "I was a stranger, and you took me in..." Caring for the needs of others is the greatest form of real success we can have in this life.

If I can help you, please contact me at our "Contact Us" Page.
