About Us |
|
Barakel is a non-denominational oriented Non Government Organization (NGO) that endeavors to support evangelical efforts through Disaster Construction Rebuilding Services, Medical, Aviation Services and other missionary activities. This is a collaborative effort between private citizens, other NGO's, interfaith communities, government entities and businesses. Barakel has adapted a Position Statement on Sphere and has implemented an Anti-Corruption Policy including the adaption of the TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL position manual. Barakel begins their evaluation assessments of disasters usually after the first line Government agencies and local/major international (NGO) organizations complete recovery and stabilize medical, food assistance and security if required. Our focus is engineering assessments, transiting from temporary tent and trailer shelter to infrastructure rebuilding, intermediate structural safe shelter building and finally to permanent structure construction. Barakel was founded in 1999 by Ken Krantz in Jacksonville, Florida. With a heart for mission work, Ken became involved in prison ministries within Florida and Jamaica followed by work in Thailand and the Philippines focusing on importing aircraft for mission work. Ken grew up working in the contracting business and moved to Florida from Michigan in 1983. In 1984 Krantz became a State Certified Building Contractor and founded the Kenneth R. Krantz Company, Inc. completing several commercial / industrial concrete and general construction projects in Northeast and Central Florida.
In 2003 Ken founded Safewall® of Florida, LLC and Safewall® Concrete Systems, LLC in North East Florida specializing in building custom concrete housing systems. He also began building SafeAffordable® Housing in North West Florida after Hurricane Ivan. Ken has Patents pending on building concrete storm rooms in existing wood framed homes and has developed an innovative Proprietary and Patent-Pending system called SafeDEK. Safewall® & SafeDEK® are assemblies that are interrogated with structural concrete walls, and conventional or Post-Tensioned cast-in-place concrete structural slabs. This innovative building assembly system addresses not only adverse weather conditions, but real energy efficiencies facing all of us in the years to come. The system is very advantageous to bridge basic disaster shelter (tents and trailers) to intermediate structural safe shelter building and finally to permanent construction. |
