Brick Machine Proposal

$60,000

Constructing any type of building in the Meru and Tharaka District of East Africa is very costly. Since lumber is very expensive and hard to find, one must use stone that is just as costly to mine and transport, or purchase local bricks that last through a few rainy seasons before falling apart. To solve these problems, we are suggesting that a Hydraform Brick Machine, manufactured in South Africa and used in similar conditions not only in Africa, but throughout the world, be purchased.

Trees of Healing Ministry (TOH) in conjunction with Hand of God Ministry Kenya anticipates constructing a medical facility, primary schools, additional housing and a rehabilitation center in the above areas. To facilitate the development of these planned structures, it would be most cost effective to purchase a Hydraform brick/block machine fully operational for $60,000. We would also start a factory to create jobs for the youth in the area.
