Tanzania Children's Rescue Center

Mwanza, Tanzania

Rock buildings with a crosswalk surrounded by lush trees and plant life

With the expanded need for orphan care in Northwest Tanzania, LifeSong for Orphans needed some additional beds for boys in Mwanza, Tanzania. Msaada assisted with a conceptual design for a two-story 120-bed dormitory. Also included in the design were two house parent flats (one per floor) and lounges for the boys. The dorm was a donut design surrounding a central courtyard. This design allowed natural light and ventilation into the core of the building without compromising security or privacy.
