Kyabirwa
Pavilion

Nestled in the heart of Kyabirwa village, Jinja, Uganda, the Kyabirwa Pavilion is a forthcoming testament to thoughtful design and community functionality. Planned as an integral part of the Global Surgical Initiatives campus, this pavilion serves a dual purpose as a waiting area and group gathering space, poised to become a central hub for communal interactions and healthcare-related activities. Crafted with a harmonious blend of tin sheets and thatching, the pavilion’s angled roof not only provides essential shade but also ensures optimal airflow, creating a cool and inviting ambiance for residents and visitors alike.
