Nyamuhunga Village Earthquake Recovery Update – June 2023

The video below shows the HICSEB (Hollow Interlocking Stabilized Earth Block) manufacturing process in action. Work is being done by volunteer villagers.

 

The image below shows villagers sieving soil to eliminate coarse lumps prior to block manufacture.


Construction has begun on the second house; the first one will be located in Nyamuhunga village. The village council decided who was most in need of a new home.


The first house, located on the Kagondo Trade School campus, was completed, and families of two teachers are now living there. As expected this first construction project had a steep learning curve as it was the first house in the region to be constructed using HICSEB technology.
