Shipping containers are important for many reasons, but a few major reasons are they can survive hard winds, which Gonave is prone to high winds and annual hurricanes.  The containers can survive fire better than conventional homes.  The cost of modifying a container is cheap, and can be done very quickly.  The cost of purchasing a container is pretty affordable vs the cost of buying wood and the labor associated with construction.  The amount of time needed to setup the containers can be done very quickly.  Setting up 50 different container homes can be done in a matter of weeks, versus several months to a year if constructing conventional homes. Another major reason is less environmental impact.  Gonave doesn't have to deal with a large amount of construction by product, and these shipping containers don't have to en...
