Workers’ Village Project

Workers' Village Project

This project is born of a desire to dramatically improve living conditions for Falcon College workers living in the oldest of the two workers’ villages near the college. We intend to replace this village entirely, and invite Falconians all over the world to contribute to this urgent and truly worthwhile project.

Our aim is to provide its residents with the dignity, safety, and comfort they deserve. Our goal is to build a new Village, to lay down strong foundations for the future, and to ensure that basic facilities and sanitation are made accessible to every resident.

Your contribution, big or small, can make a world of difference. It is an investment in the future of our community, a gesture of solidarity, and a step towards ensuring that every member of our Falcon College family has a safe and secure place to call home.
