Hello,


What do water and bricks have in common? Quite a lot it turns out. Bricks form the foundation of water catchments, microflush toilets, and lots of opportunities. They also become walls for better schools and healthier clinics. And they're an asset that builds resilience and greater confidence in the future.


But some bricks have significant drawbacks. Fired bricks or clay bricks, the kinds you’ll find most often, use a kiln. A kiln filled with wood and charcoal, a fuel that damages the environment through deforestation and dirty emissions. So, how do you make a better brick? Enter the Interlocking Soil Stabilized Brick Making press. That’s a bit of a mouthful, so we’ll call it ISSB for short.

This Friday, June 5th at noon (Pacific Standard Time), we will explain what is an ISSB press, why it’s such a breakthrough, and how it's already changing lives.

A big thanks to Ginny Stern for sharing her 2017 trip where she met and worked with one of our community partners as they began the first BioSand Water Filter training for rural Maasai communities in Tanzania. Last Friday on our Chat about the Maasai of Tanzania, Ginny shared stories of her adventure; her encounters along the way with the people, their communities, and the landscape. In this time of hardship for so many, it was uplifting to see how she was embraced by so many on her travels through Tanzania.
