Women in Zimbabwe are bringing hope and opportunity to communities by
starting new small businesses that employ unskilled women and young,
unemployed girls who may otherwise turn to crime.
Sustainable and Self-Funding
A single entrepreneur or group of women from a community can start a new
business using a unique machine made in the UK by ParryCore Ltd. The system
makes over 50 different concrete building materials but for 30% less cost so
products can be sold to local builders for less than market price but at 70%
margin with profits then used to grow the business and create yet more jobs.
Empowering Women
As the units are manually operated they can be taken to any low income
urban or rural site where women from the local community are employed and
given an immediate and badly needed income but also the security of long
term employment, new skills and a chance to climb out of poverty.
As each unit can make a complete range of building products, it can form the
basis of a project to regenerate an entire community including affordable
housing, schools, medical centres and churches
“““WWWOOOMMMEEENNN IIINNN CCCOOONNNSSSTTTRRRUUUCCCTTTIIIOOONNN””” A new initiative where women entrepreneurs in Zimbabwe change the
lives of other women in low income urban and rural areas by employing
them to make and sell building materials and construct affordable houses
Each BUILT-BY-WOMEN project includes:
a ready-to-go business kit and production system
detailed plans and schematics for a production yard
on-site training in machine and process operation
a detailed schedule of operator performance targets
marketing support with optional mobile friendly website

Affordable House Building
Groups of women can work together to use the ParryCore system to
produce everything needed to construct a 3 bedroom family house in less
than three weeks. They engage a local building contractor to undertake the
actual construction work but the contractor’s fees are easily covered by
the 30% reduction in costs achieved by using the ParryCore system. Also,
as the unit can be taken to site and produce materials in situ,
transportation costs are reduced as are losses through breakages.
BUILT BY WOMEN is an Anglo-Zimbabwean program that brings jobs,
income and long term security to women, their families and communities
WHY SHOULD WOMEN GET INVOLVED IN CONSTRUCTION?
Construction is a massively male-dominated business sector but there is no real reason why this should
be so. Yes, men are physically stronger but all that means is that they can carry more bricks! Heavy
manual labor is obviously required to build a house but the success of a construction company is
influenced far more by the following qualities of its management:
Drive and determination to succeed in a male environment
Clarity of thought and communication with supervisory staff
Problem solving and problem resolution skills
Team building skills and the ability to motivate staff
Ability to build relationships based on trust and honesty
If you compare the above skills to those needed to run a family home then it
becomes clear that women actually have these qualities more than many men.
Women make excellent business managers
TWO PROJECTS IN ONE INITIATIVE
Building Materials:
The Parry system allows a local entrepreneur or group of women to start a
small business making and selling concrete materials at less than current
market price but still at high margin. Cost of production is reduced by 30%
by applying vibration during casting to expel the air from the mixture
making the final material stronger and cheaper as less cement is required.
Colored dyes can added to produce luxurious products. The unit is designed
to offer ten women local community a job giving them badly needed
income for the family and long term job security.
