Garden Home Orphan's Hope, Myanmar
Project Details
Garden Home Orphanage in Myanmar is part of Orphan’s Hope ministry. Despite the challenges in Myanmar, Orphan’s Hope extends their compassionate hand in many ways to the unfortunate orphans in that country. The Garden Home Orphanage has been praised by the government as an exemplar. Located on a beautiful peninsula on a river with many vegetable gardens and fruit trees, the operation has a unique vision to make itself self-sustaining. The Garden Home orphanage is dedicated to double orphans who have lost both their father and mother and have no place to go.
An EMI team visited the ministry in Myanmar in October 2009 to survey and investigate the site, evaluate the needs of the ministry, and to propose a master-plan to expand the campus. In the conclusion of EMI’s report a geo-technical evaluation, a design rationale for the overall site master plan and the agricultural zoning plan, a section on sustainable agriculture development, and the design rationale (architectural, structural, electrical) for the orphan houses, the education building, a multi-purpose building and a remodeled kitchen/dining hall were provided.
