Mixing Dirt and Water Makes Mud for Walls

If you thought making mud was child's play, you are wrong.  Mud is used to make walls on Congolese houses.  There is no mechanical mixer.  It is really done by hand.  It is made the same way as you made as child.  You just mix dirt and water makes mud on the ground.  Then you pack in between the sticks to make a wall.

There is no cement added to the dirt.  Cement is too expensive for most poor Congolese.  A mud wall is a sign of poverty.
