WHO WE ARE
FairBuilding Network is the social action arm of BCI
Media Group and was established under the BCI
Foundation as a non-for-profit entity in 2014. BCIs
FairBuilding initiative pursues a vision to end
homelessness by turbo-charging procurement for
bottom-of-pyramid construction projects. Building
on the BCI project leads model, FairBuilding acts
as a catalyst that makes construction more
affordable for the poor.
WHAT WE DO
With our state-of-the-art online platform, we bring
together social developers, both commercial and
non-for-profit, with members of the building
industry that are willing to push their social agenda
by contributing products and services well under
their normal retail terms. With every single project
brought to fruition on the FairBuilding Network, a
small step is taken towards overcoming poverty
and homelessness. By scaling up and enhancing
the accessibility of the building market for the poor,
FairBuilding is changing the lives of the most
disadvantaged people in the emerging world.
WHAT WE ACHIEVED
We are very proud about our first exciting success stories,
which bode well for the future. Specifically, we introduced the
following tools and activities:
Project specific events called Engagement Forums:
we organise bi-monthly meetings between NGOs and
industry partners. This allows the NGO to articulate specific
needs associated with projects, and suppliers can gauge if
they wish to get involved and do well by doing good. We
have organised six forums between Oct 2015 and Oct 2016.
We also organize and facilitate exclusive meetings between
NGOs and individual suppliers designed to introduce
suppliers to specific project opportunities.
Accreditation: we encourage FairBuilding Industry
Partners to become Committed Partners. By signing a
formal Letter of Commitment an accredited partner
undertakes to grant specific discounts (typically 20%) when
supplying goods and services to FairBuilding projects. This
makes the supplier stand out as committed to doing good,
and allows the NGO to zero in on preferred partners when
sourcing suppliers. to-date FairBuilding boasts 45
committed partners.
Strengthened the Gold-Partner status as a real badge
of honor: with the annual FairBuilding Awards, we
acknowledge the companies that have a genuine concern for
disadvantaged communities and a willingness to do well by
doing good.
OUR IMPACT
Between October 2015 and October 2016, the FairBuilding
Network has led to tangible, positive impact for the poor
benefiting from the projects that were completed either faster
or less expensive.
