PHASE 1 - WOMEN'S LITERACY AND HEALTHCARE CENTRE
January 2015
Construction Phase 1: During phase 1 the foundations were laid and the concrete columns and floor slabs were constructed.
We hosted a number of workshops with local craftsmen to re-introduce traditional methods of building with rammed earth and bamboo. We have demonstrated ways to build a rammed earth and to treat bamboo to give the locals confidence in the local materials which are see as "low material". All the bamboo used for this building is from local gardens leading to zero carbon footprint.
