This document provides information about a proposed partnership between Cornell University's Center for Sustainable Urban Development (CUSD) and Education Africa (EA) to design and build an early childhood development facility in Cosmo City, South Africa. The project aims to provide education for urban poor children while training local caregivers. CUSD students will conduct research and design the facility using appropriate and innovative technologies over the fall semester, then help construct it during a spring site visit. EA will facilitate partnerships and community engagement in South Africa. The project goals include empowering the community through education, job skills training, and sustainable development practices.
