Safe T Homes® withstand Hurricane Matthew
A product from Sukup Manufacturing has helped saved lives in Haiti after Hurricane Matthew torn through the small island nation.
Sukup produces Safe T Homes®, which are small circular homes modeled after grain bins and developed by Brett Nelson, a Sukup employee. The Safe T Homes® were developed immediately after an earthquake created devastating damage to Haiti in 2010.
Sukup partnered with GoServ Global, a non-profit organization out of Eagle Grove that provides relief and assistance in disasters around the world. GoServ was co-founded by Ken DeYoung, an Iowa farmer and pilot who flew to Haiti over 35 straight days providing medical supplies after the 2010 earthquake. He ended up touring part of the country, and saw 15 orphans in one man’s house, the result of the death toll during the earthquake. It touched DeYoung’s heart and he started GoServ Global, said the executive director of GoServ Global Paul Van Gorkom.
