Refugee housing
An empowerment center that was constructed in Tongogara refugee camp in Zimbabwe, a space for the refugees to unleash their potential
Through tactile learning women and youths are able to acquire skills in construction with the supervision of our certified engineers, the same people contribute towards replicating our solutions to other communities.
"We are happy that the first batch of refugees we trained the skills of constructing using plastic waste are now able to construct these same houses on their own."
For the past 6 years, we have contributed towards refugee sheltering. Using plastic waste is one of the law materials to construct homes as well as focusing on labor-based approaches to skill refugee communities in construction technics so that they could be able to skills to learn construction skills

Lack of quality housing compromises people's health and development opportunities
We have been able to construct our eco-homes in Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Bidibidi refugee settlement, Kyakka 2 refugee settlement all in Uganda, and Tongogara refugee camp in Zimbabwe. Through this work, we have been able to change people's mindset on the way they think and dispose of plastic waste, skilled over 1256 refugees with the skills of turning plastic waste into eco-bricks as well as constructing houses from plastic waste.
Access to quality housing should be a human right, however, our brothers and sisters in different refugee camps continue to sleep in temporary houses and tents which are 100% inconvenient, we shall continue to increase access to affordable, durable eco-homes with your support.
