Two girls. Two months. Tanzania. One big adventure with C-re-a.i.d. to help the inhabitants of Njoro improve their living environment. The challenge is on! We are Lisa and Pascale, recent architecture graduates who found each other during a great Ghana thesis year together. At C-re-a.i.d., a Tanzanian voluntary organisation founded by Belgian architect Freya Candel, we found a grand new project to

throw ourselves in. This summer, we will put all our enthusiasm, creativity and practical skills to use in the Be part of something bigger-project in Njoro. Njoro is a neighbourhood in the center of Moshi. The majority of the dwellings here are low quality, one room rental houses. The crumbling mud walls and poor structures, lack of natural ventilation and presence of rodents create a damp living environment where hygiene and health can be compromised. The project's challenge: how can we help these people to improve their living conditions? The fact that this project involves rental housing adds a certain complexity: we want to find solutions which benefit the dwellers, without giving landlords the possibility to raise their prices and make the rooms unaffordable for a large part of the current population. This requires creative interventions, that are of good quality, yet are easily (re)moveable. The C-re-a.i.d.-project will involve exploring possibilities, learning from inhabitants and in the end implementing some strategic solutions in all neighbourhood dwellings. We need YOU! Help us make this project a success. You can make a contribution at BE77 9731 1392 7342, with reference P1403_name sponsor_email sponsor. You can also support us by ordering Tanzanian animal magnets & pins at 3 euro/piece. Just contact us with your order! Take a look at our blog as well! You can find it at www.njoro.jux.com

Lack of internet interrupted our posting, but for those who didn't know it yet: THE PROJECT IS FINISHED (and we are back in Belgium). A big thanks to everyone who made this possible, we are incredibly happy to have been able to create this project and help these families, and we couldn't have done it without all your help.

Even leek het er op dat we het nooit gingen halen, ons handoverfeestje: veel last minute klusjes en regen die ons de laatste nacht vasthield boven op de berg en de mensen verhinderde vanuit Moshi naar de site te komen. En toen kwam alles toch in orde. De huizen, de varkensstal, de keuken en het sani…

mud = fun for everyone

MODDER! Ongelofelijk hoe je met water en grond een heel huis kan bouwen. Ongelofelijk hoe vuil je daar van wordt. Ongelofelijk hoe leuk kinderen dat vinden: van modder mengen met de voeten tot het in de muur smijten, de kindjes hier lijken eindeloze energie te hebben. TIME FOR MUD! A lot of mud. Unb…
