Project Sunshower

A Warm Winter for the Children at Cixing School

The Challenge

Cixing school wasn't equipped with any water-heating facilities to ensure the supply of hot water for shower. During the long, cold winters on the Tibetan plateau, temperatures can drop to -4°F ~ -40°F,  making showering a dire problem.

Field Research

The Yushu Reborn team has visited and stayed in Tibet for months during 2020, and we proposed a solar heating project to make use of the ample sunlight on the plateau across all seasons. 

Our Solution

We partnered with a construction company in Xining, as well as a charity foundation in Jiangxi, China, to build a solar water heater at a 9-ton capacity. It can support up to 300 people to shower, more than enough for the school.

Construction was finished in August, 2021. Now the entire student body at Cixing school has access to hot water for showers.
