Some wonderful on-going production of interlocking 🧱 bricks for affordable housing and small empowerment centre project in Kisumu West Constituency in Kisumu County.
Durable and affordable housing is a major challenge..
We have evaluated this community on their access to durable housing.
Various parameters have been used to cross check if the people live in none durable housing out of choice ..
It has become evident that affordability and lack of technological innovation on locally available materials are the main culprits for the persistence of living in none durable structures.
With the empowerment of the youth and communities, education and quality of life could be boosted, there would be the use of indigenous knowledge, development and the sharing of technology to overcome non durable structures.
The study advocates use of interlocking bricks as away of mitigating the challenge of non durable building materials.
