THE TRADE FAIR FOR CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS IN UGANDA

Written By Michelle John

On July 4th all the NGOs in Uganda were invited to exhibit what they do at a trade fair, which was held in Kampala, the capital city of Uganda, at "Hotel Africana", one of the city's famous hotels. Brick by Brick Uganda was one of the organizations invited to present. The trade fair attracted many people, and it was wonderful the way the participants responded to Interlocking stabilized soil brick (ISSB) technology, which was exhibited by Brick by Brick.What the participants wanted most was to know that this technology can provide  people with clean water and sustainable sanitation.  They also appreciated that it is environmentally friendly (no cutting of trees) yet very cheap and long lasting compared to other structures within the communities.

What energizes me is helping clients who want to be different and are passionate about what they do. I regularly donate my time and design skills on Catchafire.org, a platform matching non-profits with the professional help they need.
