The facility houses around 20 children and is focused on providing environmental education to the children and community. The collaboration between EWB and PAH involves EWB designing various elements of the facility that will be implemented by PAH at the facility.

SP25: Completed design for rainwater collection and storage system for admin and student dormitories to provide supplementary water supply for the facility gardens.
Current and Future Objectives
Currently focused on expanding the rainwater collection system to the planned community building and adjusting the previous system based on implementation timelines, as well as designing an elevated walkway between the buildings of the facility. In the future, we will be working on designing a system to dispose of greywater from staff bathrooms, along with various small projects, including a goat enclosure and chicken coop.
