Empowering Communities Through Earthen Construction
The Training and Education Center for Earthen Construction will be an educational and research hub for sustainable earthen building in Butre, Ghana. It aims to teach both traditional and modern earthen construction techniques, promote sustainable building practices, and create a space for knowledge exchange and community.

Community Integration & Impact
The center works closely with local artisans, schools, and communities to preserve, pass on, and further develop traditional earthen construction knowledge in Ghana. Through hands-on training and intergenerational exchange, this centuries-old building wisdom is strengthened and adapted to modern needs.
The project serves as a platform for knowledge empowerment by involving local experts as educators, raising awareness about the value of traditional building methods. Additionally, it creates jobs and promotes the long-term integration of sustainable building practices in Ghana and beyond.
