Dear Friends, Supporters and Donor Partners: Thanks to your generous support.

We broke ground on 8th October 2012 for the Sota Health Center.

The building has proceeded from site clearing, to digging foundation trenches, to pouring foundations, to cement block making, to pouring the concrete for the floor, and now brick walls are nearly completed.

A brick making team on-site has been making Interlocking Soil Stabilized Bricks (ISSB), using a hand press. These bricks are environmentally friendly, as they don't have to be burned, thereby saving firewood that would otherwise be utilized in large amounts for bricks. We have many curious passersby, and hope that this technology is adopted by others, even for houses.
