Description
"The Kaputa Project" was a collaborative effort between local government, the Catholic Church and foreign aid organizations. The goal was to bring a better level of health care and economic opportunities to one of the more rural and least developed areas of the country. Bricks were manufactured for buildings that were to be part of a self-help development center.
