Giving back just feels good

Architecture for Humanity has been working in post disaster reconstruction since 1999. They have designed and built hundreds of homes, schools, clinics and community facilities for those affected. To date they have worked in long term reconstruction efforts in Burma, India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Pakistan, Chile, Haiti and the United States.

On average they spent 4 years on our rebuilding effort - Architecture for Humanity is the last responders. They don't offer hope, they build solutions.

Architecture for Humanity and NIKE has partnered to help Japan's long term rebuilding efforts. Together, they believe that sport plays a critical role in a community and will be a key element as the Sendai region rebuilds.

They  would like to thank the tens of thousands of runners who participated in the NIKE+ All for Japan Challenge and collectively ran 200,000 miles in less than a week. Everyone who participated has helped contribute towards the Sendai Reconstruction Fund. By calling on a global community of dedicated runners Nike really wasn't sure they would make the one month deadline. Boy, were they wrong.

Now it's time for Architects for Humanity's  part - putting the funds to good use.
