“Giovanna per il Madagascar Onlus” is an NPO active in Madagascar for 20 years now assisting children affected by diabetes and limb malformations and now the NGO is undertaking a new mission to help abandoned children, providing them a home where to sleep and where daily meals are available, a place where they can be treated by doctors and a community where they can study and play.
The Children’s home is composed by a slab hosting two dormitories equipped with toilet facilities, the nurse’s rooms, the infirmary, and the kitchen. Two avant-corps host the dining hall and a multipurpose room defining a big covered open space.
The double roofing is composed by lower breathing layer and an upper waterproof one. In this way the rooms are not subject to direct solar radiation and the air circulates in the buffer zone between the two layers ensuring natural cooling, while the entire building, including the outdoor spaces, is protected by the local heavy rains.
