Aranya Solutions is leading the effort to establish a Sustainability Center, for community resilience, which will serve as a long-standing infrastructure asset and resiliency hub for community. The center will offer the community a physical space to gather, provide educational workshops on sustainable living, and develop life skills.
The center will be self-sustaining for maximum resiliency – have its own energy source, water catchment and storage, compostable toilets and sanitation in a solidly built structure.
