Students of both universities worked together to analyze the traditional architectural style and techniques of the Sahel. Best practicies then were combined with modern architecture. At the University of Maroua, 4 experimental building were erected. The results of the analysis formed the basis for the development of a pavilon concept, which now is build in Boboyo for the very first time. Thanks to the BMZ, ident.africa and CODEBO, 60 children will be able to attend classes in one of the 3 pavilions of the pre-school.
Patron of the project is Guenter Nooke, Angela Merkel’s personal representative for Africa in the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
