We are sad to announce the death of Dan Andabati

Sadly in early 2015, Dan Andabati died in a traffic accident having continued the good work started by the Good Earth Trust. 
He had worked with the Haileybury Youth Trust in developing improved water and sanitation conditions in the shanties in Kampala using the interlocking block technology.

Dan had completed his Civil Engineering degree in Kyambogo University, Kampala, Uganda in 2006. His research project was on appropriate technology for brick production.

He joined Good Earth in January 2009.

We're currently in the process of updating the Good Earth Trust website. This will include details of changes to our Trustees, restructuring which has taken place in Tanzania and Uganda as well as information on recent projects in both these countries. We hope to launch the update by the end of September.
