Haitian Rapper Won-G and One Dome at a Time building homes with your help

When David South and other members of the Monolithic family formed a partnership with Haitian Rapper Won-G to build EcoShell domes in Haiti, no one could have imagined the sense of urgency the project would take on just a few short weeks later. Since the massive earthquake struck Haiti on January 12, the South family and Won-G have been working feverishly to provide immediate relief and find sources of funding for long-term rebuilding through their non-profit foundation One Dome at a Time.

Won-G recently traveled to his home country with 100 medical personnel and hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical supplies. He was also accompanied by a team of experts who were charged with evaluating and creating a plan of action for the rebuilding effort.

One Dome At A Time (ODAAT) is a Joint Venture between Won-G and Monolithic Inc. Its mission is to build green and clean “dome” housing, which is resistant to natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes and fires, and qualifies as “Near-Absolute Protection” as defined by FEMA. The patented dome building method uses less materials to build, less energy to heat and cool, can be built by local labor and will last for hundreds of years. The organization is committed to preserving family and local traditions while supporting education and economic growth in the communities they serve.

Obama should love monolithic dome homes since they are extremely “green”. During winter, one Alaskan dome home ran out of heating fuel and it took several days before it got cold enough to notice. In a regular well insulated home, you would notice in half a day.

“New Denim Line to Benefit One Dome at a Time”

Haitian rapper. Humanitarian. Jean designer. Those are just a few of the words that describe Won-G—- Monolithic’s partner in One Dome at a Time, our nonprofit that is helping with long-term rebuilding efforts in Haiti.

Sovage Denim, a new line of premium jeans, is Won-G’s latest venture and he is using the denim line to support the humanitarian efforts in Haiti. Each pair of jeans will feature the hang tag shown here to let the buyer know that a portion of the proceeds will benefit One Dome at a Time.

All kinds of celebrities are involved in the launch of the new line. Read the Sovage Denim Blog for the latest news on who’s wearing the new jeans.

Our non-profit’s first venture is likely to be a village of 500 Ecoshell domes similar to the ones that were built in Indonesia. Check back here for more news on the project as it develops.
