C-re-a.i.d.: -Change -REsearch -Architecture
-Innovation -Design is a Tanzanian registered non-profit organisation;
which conducts research by design on the possibilities of architecture. This is
accomplished by the different branches of C-re-aid, including fieldwork,
organizing construction, empowering local craftsmen and receiving students of
architecture, interior architecture, engineering, and product design.

With architecture being the professional background of
the founder of C-re-aid, the concentration of the organisation lays on housing
in informal settlements. The organisation is active since 2012 and has
conducted several projects in rural areas of Moshi, Tanzania. The projects are
conducted with the assistance of students and aim to create cooperation between
the C-re-aid team, students and beneficiaries. C-re-aid collaborates on
projects with families of various backgrounds, social relations and material
possessions. However, the crucial similarity is that all the families received
assistance from C-re-aid to make a specific material change. Thus, while the
projects themselves are different, their common baseline is the research to the
reception of a material change.

After 2 successful years, C-re-aid is ready to
grow and to expand. As an income generating model, the organization is
establishing a social enterprise that is designing, developing and distributing
quality handmade furniture made from local and recycled materials. Together
with a growing team of designers, craftsmen and young trainees you will work on
the realization of an income generating model for C-re-aid.
