Most of the people who work there never manage to leave without outside help. Sometimes people voluntarily choose, for example, to celebrate a \u201cbig\u201d wedding\u2014and finance it. However, they often don\u2019t realize the consequences: that the loan is almost impossible to pay off. It\u2019s a sad reality, where children growing up in these families also suffer, as the debt passes from generation to generation\u2026 and most children remain uneducated and are forced to help their parents make bricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through visits to the brick factories, we get to know the families\u2014their motivations and their stories. And sometimes, just by sharing a good lunch with them, their future can change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" data-id=\"1828\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.12.05-700x525.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.12.05-700x525.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.12.05-250x188.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.12.05-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.12.05-120x90.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.12.05.jpeg 1156w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" data-id=\"1827\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.12.01-700x525.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.12.01-700x525.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.12.01-250x188.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.12.01-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.12.01-120x90.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.12.01.jpeg 1156w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" data-id=\"1826\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.11.58-700x525.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.11.58-700x525.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.11.58-250x188.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.11.58-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.11.58-120x90.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.11.58.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" data-id=\"1825\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.11.57-700x525.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.11.57-700x525.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.11.57-250x188.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.11.57-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.11.57-120x90.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-03-15-at-17.11.57.jpeg 1156w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3037,"template":"","program":[5],"class_list":["post-3523","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","program-befree"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
