The Cooperative of Riobamba has approved a proposal to build houses within the Sofonias “Affordable Houses” program, based upon participatory design and ecomaterials. Some members of the cooperative have organized to build a settlement of 56 dwellings. After discussions between Pedro Morales, the director of the cooperative, and members of Grupo Sofonias and EcoSur, they decided to begin with twelve houses in 2004.

In 2005, SofoNic has started a dual education program for masons in Nicaragua, using its house-building programs as a base. Teaming up with the local technical school in Jinotepe they are graduating about ten masons every year since. Most f them have found jobs in construction or have started a business on their own. SofoNic has contracted several of them as master masons in the reconstruction programs in Haiti.
