AfH will partner with a resident in Nyayo Village to improve one of the sleeping mud houses on his property. Some of the issues that will need to be addressed are ventilation, light and water seeping underneath the house.
Because this is a mud house for sleeping, there is no kitchen. However, the project should take the kitchen into consideration because many of the families in Nyayo only have one house where they sleep and cook. Eventually, the proposed solution will be adapted for implementation in the rest of the village and to other villages. The proposed solution will take into consideration the income of the residents, climate, local resources and the lifestyle of the people.
The group’s collaborative project page is up on the Open Architecture Network. There are many pictures and more information there.
