Headline UNKRA's Help to Korea

Caption Description At least 1,000,000 new homes are needed in Korea, about one out of every four South Koreans are living in makeshift shelters. The UN Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA) has brought a new approach to house-building in this country. Landcrete machines, for making rammed-earth blocks, were imported from South Africa; Korean architects designed urban and rural dwellings, and UNKRA went into the production of inexpensive houses. The hand-operated machines can be worked by a Korean family, using one part of cement to 15 parts of earth from the building site. The total cost of a house is about $750, of which only $380 goes for imported materials.
This photograph shows the members of a Korean family in front of their new home, in a recently-built housing development of some 200 units in the Pusan area.
