Father Robert has launched revenue generating ventures like brick making with Friends of Musoma as a source of capital for providing scholarships to students who qualify for financial help.
All you need is a brick making machine and cement and ingredients to make high quality, solid bricks for building our classrooms and bricks to sell to the local community for home construction.
Father Robert tells us ... we can't make them fast enough! Bricks are sold for 50 cents per brick. Our cost of production is 35 cents so we are able to make a nice profit for student scholarships.
Much of the reason for the continued growth and success of this project is that local people are aware of corruption associated with other brick making businesses in and around Musoma.
Having a source of bricks properly made by a trusted entity like the founders of St. Paul School and the Diocese of Musoma is a preferred business partner for many of the local Musoma people.
