A new report published by Build It reviews our approach to sustainable building and provides recommendations on the way forwards.
Build It International work in areas of Africa where there is a chronic need for affordable housing, schools and clinics.
Alongside this lack of essential facilities there is a massive skills shortage in the construction sector.
Our response is to work with local communities to build essential low- cost facilities in an environmentally friendly way. We do this by training local people in building skills and maximising the use of local resources.
