Reto Juvenil Internaciona identified the lack of water supply that Casa Hogar CNF, an orphanage in Texcoco and Casa Hogar San Vicente in Ajusco, Mexico has access to. In order to provide a sufficient amount of water to the orphanage, Reto Juvenil Internacional is looking for a solution via a solar water heater to save on gas heating costs. As a secondary task, Reto Juvenil Internacional is looking for a solution to convert the electrical water pump and other building needs at Hogar CNF to solar power, to reduce electricity costs and be able to buy more water.
Students from University of Toronto, Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering in collaboration with Winds Of Change are working together to desing and set up a solar water heater and potential solar powering, They are working the idea generation process, design energy requirements and alternative design solutions, to implement the best option to support the orphan kids at social risK.
