Build up Nepal

Resilient livelihoods & climate-friendly homes, for people and planet. 🌏 

🏆 Build up Nepal is an award-winning social enterprise that is on a mission to transform Nepal’s construction sector and break the cycle of poverty. 

Nepal is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world. Many marginalised families dream of living in a safe, brick house, but cannot afford it. The fired brick industry is also a big polluter.

🏡 Our locally-led model supports micro-enterprises to produce climate-friendly bricks and build disaster-resilient homes that are greener, cheaper, safer and scalable. 

We have supported more than 300 micro-enterprises, built over 8,600 homes and created 3,400 jobs, while cutting 86,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions. By 2030, we want to go further and replace 10% of Nepal’s fired bricks.
