The average American is responsible for 22 tons of CO2 emissions annually. Our project has a climate return of 1 ton CO2 reduction per $1 of project money spent. Send a donation today to improve your climate karma!

Our 2-year project still needs $33,000 more in funding from donors.

  • $1 will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1 ton
  • $22 will offset your own greenhouse gas emissions for a year (so offset the whole family's!)
  • $70 will ensure 1 home is built
  • $100 will train one Chinese builder in our green construction techniques
  • $3,500 will subsidize the purchase of one straw baler and guarantee at least 50 homes are built during the 2-year project
    • baler cost is $7,000 – ADRA will provide 50% and a local construction company will pay the
      remaining 50%. In return, the local construction company will build at least 50 homes over 2 years
      .

Donate by Check:

  • Write a check made payable to “ADRA Limited”. Write “Straw Bale Houses” in the note area, and then send it to me (Max Perelman, 3108 Golden Oaks Lane, Monterey, CA 93940). Every month, I send all checks to the ADRA Hong Kong regional headquarters to save on mailing charges. They can also supply a receipt for tax deduction purposes. Please contact me if you would like to mail the check to Hong Kong yourself.

Donate Online:

  • Pay online at ADRA’s website. Simply fill out the form and specify at the bottom that your donation be for “Straw Bale Houses”.
