Bet, amharic: house, home
Gojo, amharic: traditional round house from mud and clay with straw roof
All our houses look different, have different characteristics and different sizes.
All are built and designed by our local community with materials grown and supplied by them (no cement etc.): bamboo, soil, gras, straw, woods, stone.
The walls are painted with a homemade natural chalk paint (the chalk is collected in the surrounding mountains) that allows a great room climate. The lodges are furnished with home made bamboo furnitures done by the farmers in cooperation with foreign volunteers.
