Kiki and Pele buying construction materials

To start construction of unit two Kiki and Pele went to buy materials.

Loading bricks

People loading bricks into the truck

Kiki and Pele purchases bricks from Konyo in Kabale District. These bricks made in Konyo are good and cannot easily break because the soil is clay.

When the truck reaches the place where the bricks are, many people who make the bricks rash to load them into the truck and start fighting each other to load.

Sand holes

Buying timber

Child labour

Pele went with Justus to buy hardcore as Kiki was at the university. Mothers and their small children were busy to make aggregates out of the rock. Children brought the aggregates down from the hill carrying them in old jerrycans on their heads. They had to work on a rather high speed and they looked tired. We call it 'child labour' and that is an abuse.
