Little Big Mojo

Biharamulo, Kagera, Tanzania
2011-2012

 

 

 

 

„LITTLE BIG MOJO - SPIRIT OF TANZANIA“

is the „MOJO Fullscale Studio NPO“ project for 2011/12. This includes the development of the already existing „Saint Severin English Medium Day and Boarding Primary School“ in Biharamulo, Tanzania.

The concept of including a “multipurpose hall”, a kitchen, and an “educationLab” was realized in cooperation with regional institutions and the school management. This proposition will optimize the running of the school to accommodate for the older population and local people.
