The Hope Village Community Building is a vibrant hub supporting 250 vulnerable girls and young women. Rooted in sustainability, it features 3D-printed earth walls and a tensile roof of locally sourced timber and corrugated metal. The building sets a model for community-driven, eco-innovative architecture in Tanzania.
