Our Technology - “Do-nou”

Do-nou” is a Japanese word that means wrapping soil in a gunny bag. (Size: Do-nou bag- 45cm x 60cm).

Why Do-nou technology?

Uses locally available materials (Do-nou bags; can use bags left, material put inside the bag; sand, Murram (gravel)
Manual labour based technology (labour intensive) hence creates employment without both compromising the quality and increasing the cost.
Easily adopted and applied by the community hence sustainable.
With regular maintenance the road section maintained using Do-nou technology is durable. It is therefore preferable to maintain it after every rain season.
