As we commemorate World Refugee Day, we are proud to spotlight one of the impactful initiatives implemented under our Cameroonian Refugee Intervention Project in Ogoja, Cross River State, with the generous support of UNHCR.
Through this project, we introduced Hydraform technology—an innovative and environmentally friendly brick-making method that uses compressed earth blocks to produce durable, cost-effective building materials with minimal reliance on fired bricks. The technology is easy to learn, scalable, and promotes sustainable construction practices.
Refugees and members of the host community were trained in Hydraform brick production, equipping them with practical skills to enhance their livelihoods, support self-reliance, and create income-generating opportunities for their families. Beyond skills development, the initiative fostered social cohesion and strengthened economic resilience within the community.
On this World Refugee Day, we celebrate the resilience, determination, and potential of displaced populations and reaffirm our commitment to creating opportunities that empower people to rebuild their lives with dignity.
We extend our sincere appreciation to UNHCR for their partnership and support in making this intervention possible.
