Climate-friendly homes & resilient livelihoods, for people and planet | 2024 Earthshot Prize Finalist 🌏

About us

Build up Nepal is an award-winning social enterprise that constructs climate-friendly homes and creates resilient livelihoods, to uplift marginalised communities and protect our planet. 🌏 Nepal is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world. Many marginalised families dream of living in a safe, brick house, but cannot afford it. The fired brick industry is also a major polluter. 🏡 Our locally-led model supports micro-enterprises to produce climate-friendly bricks and build disaster-resilient homes that are greener, cheaper and safer. We have supported more than 300 micro-enterprises, built over 11,000 homes and created 1,600 jobs, while cutting 111,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions in the process. 📈 By 2030, we want to go further and scale to other disaster-prone countries, to make our dream of universal access to safe housing, and a world that's free of fired bricks, a reality. 💚
