Momentum For Change Podcast

This podcast takes us to Da Nang City in Vietnam. Climate-change related storms and floods there are taking a toll on the urban poor, who typically live in homes that are poorly constructed and maintained. Such homes have fewer defences against these storms and floods, and families hit by storm damage often struggle to recover. The project Building Storm-Resistant Houses helps vulnerable families to better deal with climate change. A Women’s Union in Da Nang complements the project by offering a revolving loan program to help finance these storm-resistant homes. This has already helped hundreds of families reinforce and rebuild their homes. To learn more, we spoke to Phong Tran, Technical Lead with ISET-Vietnam.
