If finishing a small school in Africa (materials only, labor is being volunteered) is estimated at around 25,000$, I can agree about your wonder.

Our building codes and prevailing standards make stuff a lot more expensive, plus it's hard to get labor volunteered for private housing...

Awesome project, though.
