Client: Private
Main donor:Private
Dates:February – March 2010
Nature of work:
Production of 5000 ISSB narrow DI blocks for building a 5 roomed structure for rental property. We took on this job for the purposes of trialling different soil types in the Arusha area – overlain by volcanic loams. This was also an opportunity to train the first local ISSB block makers
Current Status:
This project is on hold whilst the Client raises sufficient funds to start the construction of his planned building
Results / Outcomes:
Blocks were produced as per specs. Training involving 6 youth on a rotating basis eventually led to 2 good block makers, who moved from using 1 bag of cement – 110-120 blocks per day, up to a production of 450 blocks per day from 4 bags of cement within 5 weeks from first introduction to the technology
