Bricks That Save Lives: Build up Nepal’s Revolution in Sustainable Construction

Build up Nepal is revolutionising house building with a low-carbon and cost-effective alternative to traditional, coal-fired bricks. Nepal is one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries, yet millions still lack safe housing. The social enterprise trains entrepreneurs to produce climate-friendly Compressed Stabilised Earth Bricks (CSEB), or eco-bricks, and build affordable, disaster-resilient homes. Their model uplifts marginalised communities through entrepreneurship, and paves the way for a sustainable construction industry.

Social Media Listening: A Game Changer for Community Engagement

With the Social Media Listening tool (SML), it is possible to scan posts and messages on social media and instant messaging applications (such as Telegram or X). The messages are scraped, translated, coded and analyzed to provide a qualitative and quantitative summary of the most discussed topics by people affected. These insights provide an unbiased understanding of their needs, fears, feedback, sentiments, and experience.
