I agree with this comment, from my personal experience I had the same up bringing. They pass down their knowledge on to the next generation, the knowledge they pass down you definitely carry it on your entire life.

Inspiring idea Sanjana, my team were also using the resources and knowledge available in the community, but we started off with sanitation then moved it on further to water purification. Is there a specific community in a specific country that you have been looking at?

Great idea team, have you spoke to any organisations that will be willing to back this idea? Getting the community to build the shiri houses is a great way to introduce community interaction. Keep on developing the idea, maybe prototyping will be the next step, with the intended audience.
