Quite a few months back a large group of guys from Trinity Church raised a vast amount of money climbing three of Britain’s most prestigious peaks, all within 24 hours so that a Hydraform brick machine could be bought by the Kericho diocese, headed up by the wonderful Bishop Jackson Ole Sapit! The machine was bought in South Africa, and although it took a good few months to get to us, it has finally arrived (on Easter Monday of all days), and is in good working order. The Hydraform brick machine can produce 1500 bricks in one day. That’s a lot of bricks in one week. It uses materials like local soil and just 5% cement at minimal cost to produce its bricks. The really clever thing is that the bricks interlock, meaning you don’t need mortar, which of course knocks a huge amount off your building costs.
