The "literal groundbreaking" occurred today. This is always an exciting day on a job site, but especially so here. There are no power tools or heavy equipment - this is all being constructed by hand with small tools. The goal is that everything being done could be replicated by anyone in the community.
The Roche Health Center is a zero-energy health center being constructed by local villagers using no power tools in rural Tanzania. This project is being developed by the Village Life Outreach Project (www.villagelifeoutreach.org) and the Shirati Health, Education and Development Foundation in collaboration with the University of Cincinnati School of Architecture and Interior Design.
