  The Homes  
 

There will be seven houses within the Village and each will be home to a Guatemalan Foster Mother and up to seven children.

The homes will each have four bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, pantry, garden, washing machine and two washrooms.

The bedrooms will be gender specific and will have up to four children in each, depending on their ages.

The Mothers will maintain the homes and the children will participate with household and village chores. Daily family meals will take place in each home.

The homes will be powered by alternative technology. Grey water will be recycled.

 

 

 

Designed by Lisa Kwan

  This is a design to accommodate six or seven children and have a private room for the Foster Mother. It has a large covered patio, as the year round temperatures are mild and fresh. The surrounding photos are existing building which are intended to offer an idea of what is possible. Thanks to Lisa Kwan.
