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.

Seeing the Roche Health Center for the first time
I began working on the Roche Health Center in June 2008 and have worked on it continuously since that time. It has been an incredible project that continues to inspire me. Until this past June, I had not seen the completed Health Clinic building. It was an amazing experience to finally see the project built and in use. Emily Roush, Richard Elliott and the whole construction crew in Roche did a phenomenal job creating this building using only local materials and no power.
