Kisarawe Girls School in Tanzania by TAWAH
Tanzania Women Architects for Humanity (TAWAH) was formed by Tanzanian women architects and scientists committed to enhancing social justice by mobilizing women to spearhead building adequate shelter in marginalized communities.
Dr. Victoria Marwa Heilman founded and leads the Tanzania Women Architects for Humanity (TAWAH) which has had success in rebuilding houses after natural disasters using low-cost, locally available materials and involving the affected community. She used her expertise to expand TAWAH’s work building more affordable housing in Tanzania, to enhance the architecture curriculum at her university, and to encourage more women to enter the field.
TAWAH school design motto was to create ideal, inclusive and sustainable learning spaces for girls in Kisarawe.
