Welcome to Build IT International

A practical and sustainable response to poverty in Africa where there is:

  • A huge need for essential buildings such as schools, clinics and low-cost houses
  • A lack of jobs as most people are underemployed.
  • Potential to promote sustainable building technologies that minimise damage to the environment.

Our approach is to work with local builders and communities to deliver essential, low-cost buildings.

Turning community schools
like this…

…into this…


Along the way, we train people in sustainable, environmentally friendly building skills.
