Case study on rural development project in SA review

In the case study, people from a local building company came to Simunye in South Africa to help the people living there to build homes. They taught them how to make their own bricks by giving them a device that molds bricks out of natural items found near the settlement. This is done using weight, force and passion to make it. By giving them this device, they can not only build their own houses, but this also provides them with the means to sustain the settlement.
When the video started, the people living in the settlement were suffering and with little access to water that heats up from the harsh sun, they had lost hope.
But in December 2006, hope arrived. A local building company came and taught the people how to make bricks, use them to build houses for themselves and how to sustain their settlement.
With help like this, they will not only live and prosper, but also teach other rural areas about building and sustaining settlements.
All in all, it is a great video about people suffering and how bringing them the means to go on, it introduces hope, courage and pride.
