Project Details
The booming construction industry in Uganda has boosted the brick making industry. We are taking part of this boom through creating sustainable innovative projects that will promote a sustainable future through skills training and job stability.
We believe by giving youth the opportunity to partake in this growing industry we can promote an avenue of entrepreneurship. Currently there are many health, environmental and financial problems that plague the current ways bricks are made in Uganda. However, through the alternative method of using the Interlocking Stabilized Soil Block (ISSB) System many of these problems are substantially reduced. This system also creates an effective opportunity for skills training, employment development and financial security, introducing many to trades and construction in Uganda.
The Laying Foundations Brick Project allows youth, widows, community leaders to take part in training of ISSB machine use, and construction of various structures with interlocking bricks and the entrepreneur opportunity of making and selling bricks. This gives youth, widows an community leaders the opportunity to participate in this booming industry generating employment opportunities and allowing for skill transfer. We hope to facilitate the use of this technology to further, employ, train and create entrepreneurs that will build their communities. Lend a hand today.
