My Dream Home (MDH) is an inclusive business that is addressing the chronic shelter shortage in Cambodia through the production of affordable, environmentally friendly, and easy-to-construct interlocking bricks. MDH has developed interlocking bricks similar to the concept behind the well-known LEGO® bricks. MDH’s bricks are made from local materials that are abundant across Cambodia. When interlocking bricks are used to construct a building, the project requires less cement and labour, and the time to complete the project is shortened. A home using MDH’s interlocking bricks can be built in three months or less. Most importantly, the total cost to construct a home via a “do-it-yourself” method using interlocking bricks is 20-40% less than when traditional bricks are used.
