From the Ground Up was formed post 2015 April Earthquake in Nepal that claimed the lives of almost 9000 people. Young intellectual minds of both local and international origins joined together to form a construction collaborative. What initially started as a small venture to aid in some small way for the reconstruction process in Nepal eventuated into something Founder Nick Abraham would have never envisaged.
​
From initial grassroots origins of construction From the Ground Up was formed on the ground in Nepal. The concept of sustainable infrastructure development to better the safety and living standards of rural areas began to be implemented and the formation of an international team became necessary.
​
Through the expansion of the concept of From the Ground Up to an International level, establishing the centralized office in Sydney, NSW Australia, the vision was also able to develop. From the Ground Up is now not only an infrastructure provision organisation but it is also a Social Capitalist venture trying to provide as many sustainable paying jobs as possible through profitable enterprise.
Quite simply we invest in those areas with little to no education and give them a job in construction, teaching them quality processes and skills that will be internationally recognized. We give them the power to change their own life on their own terms.
