Learning Center, Bahuarwa, India, 2022 – 2024
Partner (Construction): CIBART, Gujarat, IN and craftspeople from Bahuarwa
Partner (Operation): Bahuarwa Foundation, Darbhanga, Bihar, IN
The existing public school in Bahuarwa is in a state of disrepair and teachers are often absent. For this reason, our local partner, Bahuarwa Foundation, decided to run its own school to provide educational opportunities to underprivileged children. We supported their initiative, through a participatory construction of a learning center for around 200 children.
The building is a hybrid solution of traditional and new construction methods. It reflects a contemporary use of natural building materials and local traditions. The construction process primarily involved residents from the village, many of which are parents or even grandparents of the children who are using the school.
