In Kibaha, near the capital Dar es Salaam, architects (建筑师) built a new village called Hope Village with "earth printing". The project was finished in February 2025.
Helped by charity One Heart, Hope Village is designed by Hassell and Clarke Hopkins Clarke (CHC) to help children from across the country who have unsafe home environments.
The village has offered schooling to 480 children, as well as childcare and skill training to girls between 3 and 18 years old.
In the centre of Hope Village is its landmark building—a community centre. It is a 3D-printed design, and it is used as the school hall and dining hall during the week and open to the public for community events at weekends.
The walls are 3D printed with earth so they can be 100% recycled. "We wanted to make sure that we're able to build walls that could circulate (循环) air in the building, but also bring in light at the same time, and turning to 3D printing allowed for an open, porous (多孔的) wall design," said Xavier the lead designer from Hassell.
The project is not just to use design to help local people improve the quality of their daily life but to bring hope and education in Kibaha.
