With RAW Design Build |Summer 2016 | Arusha, Tanzania

u-care home

A home for children in need.

In a collaborative effort involving RAW (Real Architecture Workshop), U-Care, and Neema Village, 27 students and young professionals joined forces for a transformative two-week endeavor. With the invaluable guidance of eight local craftsmen, they combined local construction techniques with modern design.

The result? A welcoming sanctuary with three rooms at its heart, offering a breathtaking view of Mt Meru. Two rooms provide space for children, with strategically placed windows connecting them to the world outside. The third room serves as a haven for an adult caretaker. This project is a testament to unity, love, and dedication, offering hope and a brighter future for the children of Arusha, where architecture becomes a vessel for life.
