INTO AFRICA
The New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering’s (NMITE) reputation in the field of engineering spread to East Africa recently when Ben Shirley, a teaching Fellow in Architectural Practice at the institute contributed to a humanitarian project in Tanzania.
The Association for Environment Conscious Building (AECB) is exploring a new programme of work, connecting with experts and practitioners working in difficult socio-economic contexts in climate-vulnerable countries.
An ‘Ecovillage’ project in Tanzania, two hours north of Dar Es Salaam, offered an opportunity for Mr Shirley to support the project. The Ecovillage is a project by the UK-based charity Islamic Help and aims to provide a sustainable living environment for up to 50 orphaned girls.
Beyond the practical aspects of construction, Mr Shirley also imparted essential carpentry skills to local workers, fostering long-term self-sufficiency and upskilling within the community.
