Projects from the past.
John Wells-Louw, Director
Gorongosa National Park
TRAINING + CONFERENCE CENTER
A long-term project, Hooper & Louw was tasked with the construction of an eco-friendly building to ensure that we were minimizing the environmental impact. Carrying out these impact studies eventually led to us obtaining our Green Certificate that reaffirms our ability to build sustainably and responsibly.
Funded by Carr, USAID and IPAD as part of the Gorongosa Reserve Rehabilitation. The centre includes staff and student accommodation, catering and conference spaces as well as classrooms and training facilities for world renowned programs integrating conservation and community development.

Covane Community Lodge
ECO-TOURISM COMMERCIAL BUILD
The Covane Community Lodge project was awarded by tender to H&L through the Ministry of Tourism, the World Bank and the Ford Foundation. The project’s aim was to benefit the local community of the Cunyane tribe after being relocated from their homes to make way for the construction of the Massingir dam.
The project involved upgrades to site infrastructure and the construction of a restaurant, chalets, ablution block and several service buildings. H&L broke ground in January 2012 and completed the project in September of the same year. Most of the materials were procured from South Africa and had to be transported 800km by truck.
To ensure maximum benefits to the local community, H&L sourced the majority of the labour force from within the local community.
