This is a very clever project as it teaches the community how to build houses out of raw materials that are free and easily available to them. The community can benefit from this project by learning new skills and techniques .they can also pass their skills on to their children and grandchildren. it is important to have development and reconstruction projects as we want the people’s lives and wellbeing and it effects the HDI ranking  and the better the HDI ranking the more countries will start trading with us and the economy will become better .and with development the people’s health will improve as they can build clinics and hospitals  . and trade will improve as most rural areas have subsistent farms and with development they can change to farms that produce enough goods for themselves and they can trade with other companies .most economic activities in rural communities are on agriculture and as  there are lots of rural communities if we improve them there will be lots of agricultural improvement and produce. This projects is seen as a sustainable development project  because it does not damage the environment  , not allot of resources are used and the ones that are used like the mud is reusable , it provides people with their needs like shelter and warmth  and  the project can now continue for ever as it’s a skill they can teach their children .
