What we do

To achieve our objectives (see 'About Us'), the Good Earth Trust researches and advocates on behalf of ISSB, and helps to generate awareness and facilitate its take-up where it is needed.

Approach

   

Research.jpg

Researching and testing ISSB technology

Developing and disseminating technical information is an essential foundation for promoting the technology. We are currently developing an 'ISSB manual' which will bring together all the technical, logistical and statistical information available for the technology into a single, accessible document.

Advocating with government and official bodies to promote official acceptance

Acceptance at the highest level is hugely important if any new technology is to be implemented into the mainstream with any speed or longevity. In Uganda, The Good Earth Trust is currently joining forces with other organisations to lobby the Ministry of Education to allow ISSB to be used for the construction of secondary schools.

Training and supporting communities, agencies and small businesses using the technology

We work with both international and local NGOs, and believe firmly that ISSB technology should only be suggested where it is appropriate to the people who will be using it, and who themselves have requested it.

Working with communities on construction projects

We are involved with a number of construction projects in Kenya and Uganda, including housing, schools, water tanks and sanitation facilities. These practical projects are vital as they not only benefit local communities but also show the technology in action. The Good Earth Trust invites development organisations and local entrepreneurs to make on-site visits to projects.
