Interlocking Stabilized Soil Blocks (ISSB) for Constructing Classrooms at Mother Erinah Junior School

In May 2022, Mother Erinah Junior School suffered a very strong storm which completely destroyed all classrooms and children were left with no option other than having their lessons in open sunshine as per this LINK indicates.

Since it was a rainy season, we worked around the clock to mobilize resources for constructing temporary classrooms and it is on this note that I take this opportunity to thank all our donors like Bluebonnets, Youth Time Banking and all individual donors who responded to the call.

In search for the best, cheap and sustainable solution to help build classrooms for rural schools, we picked on Interlocking Stabilized Soil Block (ISSB) Technology.

The Interlocking Stabilized Soil Blocks (ISSBs) are easy to produce and make construction work cheap and quick. With this kind of blocks, you don’t use cement while constructing but just interlocking the blocks and even children can easily interlock the blocks and no need of building construction experience.

The blocks are produced by mixing a little cement into soil. A bag of cement (50Kg) is mixed in 12 wheelbarrows of red soil which produces 130 blocks. The blocks are left to cure for 14 days and then 7-14 days for drying.

Lastly, we request for your financial support to help us buy cement for producing enough blocks for constructing more classrooms.

In December 2015, KIRUCODO volunteers delivered Bluebonnet Hills Christian Church donated Humanitarian basic needs to the elderly people in Nakifuma villages. Most of the elderly are very weak to travel longer distances and because of this we decided to deliver the materials home to home unlike in Kikandwa villages where most of the elderly people walked up to the KIRUCODO offices to pick up their respective donations. Below is a photos slideshow covering the entire exercise. Again, we thank the Bluebonnet Hills Christian Church of such great assistance to our communities. God Bless you. Enjoy the slideshow.

52 One-Month old Kuloirer chicks were donated to two teachers of Kibiribiri C/U Primary School

IMG_5332The Bluebonnet-Supported Kuloirer Caged Poultry Keeping Project has now grown to the extend that every week we take over 120 fertilized eggs and every week we deliver more than 80 one-day old chicks to our community brooder in Kikandwa Village.

Last month, we started to reach out to rural primary teachers with one-month old kuloirer chicks. The chicks are to help them supplement on their lower monthly salaries. Each teacher receives 26 chicks and when they begin to lay eggs, the organization will help them to hatch the eggs into chicks for selling and keeping as they expand their poultry business.

Remember, this project began with two cages with 22 chicks each and to date we have hatched over 1000 chicks in 9 months.

Below is how the delivery was done last month
