Mozambique
The challenge given to this team of Brigham Young University engineering students seemed like a mission impossible. They were asked to create a sustainable building material for people living in impoverished villages in Mozambique. The catch? It had to be made from resources readily available at little or no cost.
The students from BYU’s Fulton College of Engineering and Technology worked with Care for Life, a nonprofit based in the United States and Mozambique. They ended up choosing a cheap building material from an unlikely source: termite mounds.
