The Kula Vocational Training and Community Center, located in the rural northern province of Rwanda, supports female entrepreneurs and farmers. Sited strategically adjacent to an existing health center, the facility serves as a vital hub for education, resources, and community gatherings. Situated atop a steep hill in the Virunga volcano range, the center is constructed from locally sourced volcanic stone, and built into the hillside. The design features an uphill wall that retains the slope, creating a usable level ground without the need for costly retaining walls.
