The goal of this project was to complete necessary renovations on an existing community hall and implement a sanitation system for a new facility, to further the development of sustainable informal settlement upgrading efforts in Monwabisi Park, Cape Town. We worked closely with volunteers, workers and leaders from the community, and the City of Cape Town to develop innovative solutions to basic needs that serve as examples for future, sustainable community development.
