About
14 Trees is a Lilongwe, Malawi-based joint venture between Holcim (formerly LafargeHolcim) and CDC Group, the UK's Development Finance Institution, focused on accelerating affordable and low-carbon construction in sub-Saharan Africa. The company's flagship product, Durabric, is a compressed earth brick produced from soil, cement, and water without wood-firing, saving an estimated 14 trees per standard house built compared to traditional fired bricks. Beyond Durabric, 14 Trees has expanded into 3D-printed affordable housing, including Africa's largest 3D-printed housing project — Mvule Gardens in Kenya — targeting the continent's massive affordable housing deficit.
