The project began in 2011 in Macha Village, Gansu Province, with the construction of a Village Centre and 32 prototype houses. Since then, the model has transferred to 23 different regions across 17 provinces. Around 655 villagers are already living in new earthen homes and the project aims to have housed 1,636 people by the end of 2020.
