Taifa Letu Tujenge is the first project under the umbrella of Build Our Nation that involves architecture students internationally in designing a women’s community centre for an area in The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The ultimate goal of this project is to see the community center being built in the DRC, through working with hundreds of students internationally, locally in the DRC, and alongside the women who will be using the building.
The multipurpose center aims to promote interaction and activities for local women, from different backgrounds (rural, urban, peripheral, etc) as well as reducing the difficulty of inequalities in income and employment opportunities. It could be a catalyst for social change and should be a participatory and innovative action for the province in the new democratic period.
