Fanga e.V. job training center in Burkina Faso - West Africa
Hi everybody!
I'd like to show you my main sh3d project for the last couple of years. Me and some friends founded a help organisation called Fanga e.V. eight years ago. www.fanga-ev.de It is located in the town of Banfora (Burkina Faso). map
There we help children and young people from poor families with school / job education and medical support.
After purchasing ground we built a job training center. Goal was to build it in a way that the inside would stay cool in the hot dry season with over 45°C. So we used air ventilation bricks all around the building below the roof. The roof is also overhanging to shade the ventilation bricks.
For me, without having any kind of architectual education it was a six year learning courve. But now we are very proud to show you the result :)
