Wikwiheba year 3

It's been about two years now since the first time I visited Wikwiheba. Thanks to Wouters strange need to keep running they have been able to make some big changes. They changed from a women with an idea into a proper organization. This means they should be able now to apply for grants and small project funds. It also means that it is time to let go. Just as well as we are moving this summer.

The first time I came it was more like a stinky cave smelling of pee. Now they have a proper house, soon with a few extra extensions for an atelier and classroom, a plot of land for basic foods and a barbershop. Also they are closer to the school. Their policy is to send as many children as possible to school as often as possible. Some children get thought in a small purpose build room next to the house, as they have special needs.

Here are a few photos.
