We empower communities to construct sheletrs out of plastic waste while reducing plastic waste and creating their own employment.
Long description
Upcycle Africa eco-homes project protects the environment and promotes an innovative mindset while empowering marginalized women and youth in communities. Through tactile learning, we skill communities in waste management by transforming plastic waste into eco-bricks as well as the construction of homes/ houses from plastic waste. Bottles replace environmentally unfriendly bricks, which are burnt for days promoting deforestation. Plastic bottles are collected and compacted with soil, making the houses very cost-effective, affordable, durable, and easy to replicate. Providing a source of employment as waste collectors, sorters, compactors, and constructors. Furthermore, the eco homes are strong, buffer heart, and earthquake resistant. Lack of quality housing compromises people’s health and development opportunities. Our houses are constructed by communities for communities.
