The WaterBrick Community Village
Among WaterBrick International's humanitarian efforts is a commitment to build sustainable communities in developing countries.
Our goal is to increase the standard of living and economic prosperity in some of the poorest and most inaccessible regions
in the world. We recognize that the work must be done one village at a time.
Our village concept is more than just a series of shelters constructed of WaterBricks. Rather, it's a robust, turnkey community solution that addresses:
The WaterBrick community village is designed to combine not only living facilities, but to build strength through unity with deep-well systems and food co-ops. This village concept is able to sustain 104 families (8 to 10 people per family - 800 to 1000 people) on a permanent basis. As shown in the illustration, these living facilities also consist of a community center as a focal point for family functions, as well as government, medical and religious use.
WaterBrick International has project management professionals available to oversee the development of these villages. With the support of local village officials and their people as well as the enthusiasm of their labor, we have moved forward in boring a deep-well and building a first community school for the Ngwenya Tribe in Mkuze, South Africa.
These are the first of what we hope will be many humanitarian community projects overseen and funded by WaterBrick International and other strategic partners. Please check back soon for updates on our WaterBrick villages. Or, if you or your organization could be interested in participating in our global humanitarian effort, please contact WaterBrick International at info@WaterBrick.org or call 1-877-420-9283.
