Fundación Grupo Argos launches rapid seismic-resistant housing for earthquake victims

Fundación Grupo Argos has introduced two new types of seismic-resistant housing designed for rapid construction, capable of being completed in approximately three weeks. This initiative is part of the #AdoptaUnHogar campaign, launched in partnership with singer Nicky Jam, to assist families affected by the earthquake that struck Colombia on August 10.

The initial housing models are specifically designed for coffee-growing families, incorporating cultural identity and local needs. The first phase of rural reconstruction and socialization is scheduled to begin in Caldas and southwestern Antioquia.

The project is being coordinated with several entities, including the National Government's Fondo Milagro, the Ministry of Housing, ProAntioquia, Viva Antioquia, and the Antioquia Governorate. The foundation is also developing additional housing models tailored to the specific climates and cultures of other affected regions, including Chocó and Valle del Cauca.
