For building projects in poor communities in the developing world, quality affordable bricks are essential. In rural Kisarawe communities, we have difficult access by transportation and the costs of transporting large amounts of bricks are very high. This puts a drain on funds and therefore a way to cut back on a large fraction of construction costs is by buying a brick making machine and producing our own bricks instead of buying them from a supplier. With proper means to ensure good quality of the produced bricks in place, this makes life a whole lot easier for us in regards to building the Pwani Hope School.

 

 

  

The advantages and benefits of having your own block/brick machine are: 

  • A brick machine saves time and money on transportation costs by producing blocks and bricks on-site
  • We will be assured of quality bricks as we produce them ourselves instead of depending on another company’s workmanship
  • We will be able to offer jobs to local unemployed youths, as they will be involved in the production of the bricks. This fits perfectly to our aim to include the local population in the process of constructing the school buildings, ensuring that the facility is rooted in and supported by the local community.


We do need your support on this issue. The cost of a brick making machine is approximately € 350. Will you be part of the Pwani Hope School and help us to advance the project?
