  • Project Overview
  • Student Role

Cochabamba’s orphanage is currently being built to house the towns’ orphans. The goal of the project was to help develop the building. To help with this, students worked on developing a community room in the orphanage for the community and prospective adoptive parents to interact with the orphans. Students constructed a water system connected to the local pump, installed toilets, painted walls and doors, installed appliances and built a compost pit. In addition, students introduced a pilot program to teach about hygiene and help with school work at the orphanage.
