Bricks for Survival: Innovation for Disaster Preparedness

Being prepared is essential in the face of any type of disaster or emergency, whether it is a natural disaster, a health crisis or any other unforeseen situation. In times of uncertainty, having the right resources can make the difference between survival and vulnerability.

Bricks for Survival makes sure you have everything you need to face any challenge: drinking water, first aid kits, non-perishable food and even solutions to grow your own food in case supplies run out.

A sustainable solution for survival

Each kit is designed to suit your specific needs, taking into account what you and your loved ones might need. From food and medical supplies to basic tools to maintain self-sufficiency, we ensure that you will always have the essential resources to deal with critical times and protect what matters most: your safety and well-being.

Our solution is based on sustainability, using recycled Lego pieces transformed into bricks through a rotational moulding process. These blocks allow providing water, medicines, food and seedsThe bricks are essential elements for survival after an emergency. In addition, the bricks can be easily assembled to building self-sufficient shelters without the need for specialised tools.

Strategic partnerships for crisis preparedness

We have key partnerships with leading companies in their sectors, such as 3M, Auara, Smith Seed Services and DJI Technology, who support us in both the provision of essential materials and the efficient distribution of our customised kits via drones, ensuring agile and efficient logistics even in hard-to-reach areas.

Thanks to generative AI tools such as Midjourney, we have been able to create realistic visual representations of our products and shelters, which has allowed us to validate our proposal more effectively. Through a B2C model and a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), hemos logrado obtener feedback valioso de nuestros potenciales clientes, lo que nos ha permitido perfeccionar la solución y asegurarnos de que responde a las necesidades de quienes buscan estar preparados ante emergencias.

Inspired by John Dykstra's vision, we show that if we can imagine it, we can make it happen.
