Already the centre is a place for learning about sustainable energy use and water conservation. We have a water tank that collects rainwater, but any other water has to be brought in by hand, as there is no running water available on site. The children are taught to wash their hands over a vegetable to get maximum use from this precious resource.

The earthworm toilet - a magnificent blue throne - is the only one in the area that is non-smelling. Most people go into the bushes nearby to relieve themselves, and many women have been attacked and raped there.
