The construction works for the Youth
Home started last April in Bacolod
City. The first phase of
this project includes the building of the dormitories and the sanitation
facilities to accommodate the first 30 young beneficiaries. A
windmill, which functions as a water pump run by the energy from the wind, will
enable to provide drinkable water into the facilities. The
solar panels to be used for the dormitories’ lighting have already been
provided and the annex has also been built.
The construction of the administrative building and
the building dedicated to the multi-purpose area and the dining hall should
follow, along with the wetland system used for waste water management. The design
of the facilities and equipments has been drafted in collaboration with a
volunteer from HOST-NGO, Amélie A., consultant in renewable energies. Over her
one-month mission in the Philippines
last year, she conducted an on-field assessment and shared her feedback on how
to enhance the use of natural resources while preserving the environment.
The City of Bacolod has planned a
budget of PHP 3 Million (around €55,000) to fund the following phases. HOST-NGO
supports the local authorities to search for public and private partners in
order to ensure the construction of the whole Youth Home, and enable the
operating of the center at the earliest.
