We began handforming and making the bricks needed for our children's forever home in 2018. Uganda has wonderful clay soil and we felt it was a less expensive way to start our project. These are made two by two in a wooden form, then taken out and dried for later firing, when each batch reaches 10,000.
Simon with some of the bricks
We now have 50,000 bricks made and fired and ready to go. The lot has also been cleared for building and the bricks transported by truck to the site. This has been quite a feat as no equipment was used in the making of these.
Community Based Organization Permit
We are pleased to share that our district has approved our building permit. The home will be named Kilolo Christian Heart Orphanage.
Construction Schematic
The district has also approved our plan for the 4400 sq ft home. It will have six bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large open kitchen, and central dining/teaching area. It will also have a pantry, a laundry room and a study room with a small library.
