Project outline
Architects without Frontiers (AWF), in Partnership with the Cotton On Foundation are inviting expressions of interest to provide pro-bono services for the design of a new HIV Centre in Mannya Village, Uganda. The village of Mannya in Uganda, Eastern Africa, lies a five hour drive from the Ugandan capital, Kampala. A decade ago the village consisted of little more than a small group of dwellings with a struggling primary school. Now, thanks to the hard work of all involved and the support of the Cotton On Foundation, it boasts a medical centre, secondary school, dormitories and a child sponsorship program. The Cotton On Foundation is now looking to add a new HIV centre to the village. The aim of the HIV centre building is to be the centrepiece of the village and demonstrate best practice health planning as well as innovative, sustainable design. The centre will include at a minimum: AREA DESCRIPTION 2 x Offices
APPROX AREA (m2) 8
