Projects
We encourage communities, organisations and individuals to get involved in the actual projects rather than making of eco-bricks for donation only. We have partnered with Earthly Touch Solutions and other organisation to project manage the implementation of eco-brick projects. The following projects have been earmarked, that will be implemented in various provinces. Our first project was for Khensani's Collection based in Diepsloot, Gauteng
Classroom at Khensani’s Collection in Diepsloot – August 2020
Construction of Classrooms
A classroom was built and donated to Khensani’s collection as they had 40 students housed in 1 classroom. This project helped with social distancing as now they are 2 classrooms on site. In July 2023 we handed over 3 classrooms Computer room, Kitchen & Toilets to Khensani's Collection allowing them to support 120 students. 100 000 Eco-bricks were used for this construction and approximately 60 Tonnes of carbon amission was avoided in our environment.
Eco-Brick Bin Making
Once funding has been secured, we are planning to join the Keep Diepsloot clean initiative by providing eco-bins to be placed at street corners, schools, churches. Awareness workshops will be arranged to encourage the public to stop dumping litter and utilise the bins. Support of Pikitup will be critical to ensure that his rubbish collected. Public will also be encouraged to place plastic bottles and litter in separate bins to be collected by waste makers and supplied to eco-brick makers. We have identified a number of youth who will be trained to make these bins once funding has been secured.
Circular Economy
ETF will be piloting different projects that looks at circular economy in the environment space which will include manufacturing plastic related products, food recycling working closely with other organizations.
Agriculture
We have rolled out eco-brick gardens with the first pilot project in Deipsloot at Khensani's Collection.
