VG's 2011 Agenda in the Harvard Business Review is our $300 House!
300 House Journey
The idea of the $300 House originated with Christian Sarkar, an entrepreneur and marketer who came up with the idea while working on a project in Haiti, helping the Solar Electric Light Fund raise money to solar-electrify clinics for Partners In Health. To promote the idea of the $300 House, Christian submitted a blog post to one of his clients at the time, Professor Vijay "V.G." Govindarajan at Dartmouth, and suggested they send it to the Harvard Business Review. As spokesman for the idea, VG was awarded the Thinkers50 "Breakthrough Idea Award" in 2011.

SLIDESHOW: Help us Build a $300 House by Scott Berinato
Thanks to Harvard Business Review and Jovoto, the $300 House project took off and today there are dedicated individuals and businesses working on this across the globe:
- Moladi is featured by the World Economic Forum (2017)
- Mahindra are working on a "whole village" concept in India and Africa
- The Emergent Institute, led by Stuart Hart, is actively training entrepreneurs and investing in affordable housing
- IKEA Foundation developed a refugee flat-pack
- Worldhaus has over 50 houses constructed in India
- Dartmouth has an initiative working on the project
- Individuals like Harvey Lacey, David Sands, Pete Abrams, and P. Stouter continue their passionate quest to design affordable houses for the poor
- UC Berkeley and ReMaterials have teamed up to create a new low-cost roofing material
The $300 House still needs you: students and teachers, individuals, universities, institutions, businesses, and governmental agencies - learn how you can participate!
Originally my goal was to bring together people, institutions, and businesses in a "creation space" to:
1) turn this idea into a reality, and
2) test it out in the field.
We are continuously building and rebuilding this online collective - with passionate, caring participants who choose to collaborate to make this project a reality across the planet.
