emsimision multifunctional centre in Burkina Faso..
With the objective to develop self-sustainable infrastructures that improve the quality of the cooperation projects, emsimision has purchased an 8632m2 piece of land, where the TMC will be built.
Some multiple functions of this centre are the following:
A.- Care Area. Hospitalization and Surgery.
B.- Care Area. Medical Visits.
C.- Administration Area. Burkina Faso emsimision Office.
D.- Residential Area. Housing.
E.- Training Centre.
F.- Common Services.
G.- Residential Area. Housing for Teams.
Why:
The need of medical facilities in this district is huge. There are only three small medical centres where minor surgery can be practiced – but only one of those is open. The majority of the population does not have access to medical care.
Where:
Boulmiuogou district, Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). This district has a population of 500,000 inhabitants and it is one of the poorest in the city.

It includes a Health Cooperative and a Food Cooperative. It is a local, community and sustainable development project that promotes the empowerment of women through training and local entrepreneurship based on participation in a cooperative system for the manufacture of soap, hydrogel, individual protection masks and food, all from of autochthonous products.

This project has been developed in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Lleida and its team of architects.
This type of construction is carried out with the Earthabg technique, using only natural and autochthonous materials from Burkina Faso.
Well, tank and solar extraction pump.
To guarantee autonomy in the use of water and electricity, at the TMC we have a water well with a 5 m3 tank. The water pump is solar powered.
Compressed earth block (BTC) manufacturing machine.
The acquisition of the machine allows us to manufacture our own blocks for the construction of all the TMC infrastructures.
