Transforming Communities with Sustainable Solutions
From compressed earth brick production to complete community development, our projects demonstrate the power of sustainable construction and local empowerment. Explore our work across Nigeria's northeast region and beyond.
Featured: Down2Earth Model Implementation
Comprehensive Community Development
Our flagship Down2Earth (D2E) model integrates 9 sustainable solutions to create resilient, self-sufficient communities:
- ICT-enabled water points for clean access
- Compressed Earth Brick (CEB) production plants
- Skilled mason training programs
- Solar energy systems for renewable power
- Women farmers empowerment initiatives
- School farms for nutrition education
- Biodigester toilets for sanitation
- All-season rural roads for market access
- Solar Mama Engineers for energy independence
Impact: Serving over 15,000 community members across 9 implementation sites in Borno State.

Hands-On CEB Production Training
📍 Maiduguri, Borno State
Training local youth and community members in the art and science of compressed earth brick production. Participants learn soil testing, mixing ratios, press operation, and quality control measures.
Skills Development Youth Empowerment
Sustainable Economic Communities
📍 Northeast Nigeria
Our Down2Earth model brings together water access, renewable energy, earth construction, agriculture, and sanitation in an integrated approach to community resilience and economic development.
Community Development Integrated Solutions
Community-Based Construction
📍 Rural Borno State
Empowering communities to build their own sustainable infrastructure using locally-sourced materials and trained local labor. This project demonstrates the scalability of earth construction techniques.
Community Building Local Materials
CEB Production Plant Establishment
📍 Multiple Sites, Borno State
Setting up decentralized CEB production facilities in target communities, creating local employment while ensuring access to affordable, sustainable building materials for reconstruction and new development.
Infrastructure Job Creation
Professional Mason Training
📍 Ramat Polytechnic, Maiduguri
Comprehensive training program covering earth construction fundamentals, Nubian vault techniques, structural design, and modern building codes. Graduates receive certification and business development support.
Professional Training Certification
Solar Energy Systems
📍 NEDC Collaboration Sites
Installing solar photovoltaic systems to power community facilities, water points, and production equipment. Training Solar Mama Engineers to maintain systems and provide electricity for community development.
Renewable Energy Women EmpowermentReal Impact, Real Change
From Crisis to Opportunity
In Nigeria's northeast region, years of conflict displaced millions and destroyed critical infrastructure. Green Jobs Limited saw an opportunity to rebuild better—using sustainable, locally-appropriate technologies that create jobs, preserve the environment, and build community resilience.
Our Approach:
- Train local youth as skilled masons and technicians
- Use locally-available materials (earth, agricultural waste)
- Build climate-appropriate structures using Nubian arch techniques
- Create decentralized production facilities for local ownership
- Integrate multiple solutions (water, energy, sanitation, agriculture)
The Result: Sustainable livelihoods, affordable housing, and resilient communities that can thrive for generations to come.
