The Nile Institute aims to deliver a threefold project. The Nile Research Centre will focus on elaborate studies of the Nile, while the Nile Visitor and Education Centre will contribute to both local and global education.

Located on top of the mountain, Lode Van Pee and his Nile House wil guard over the integrity and year round follow-up of the Foundation.

Preparation & pouring of columns

The concrete floor slab was poured at the end of June. The drying out of the 15 cm thick slab takes 28 days. It is watered daily to prevent too rapid drying and reduced quality. Time to start the next phase: preparation for pouring the columns.

Construction of the floor plate

After a lot of preparation works, the 28th & 29th of June mark an important milestone for the Nile Institute Rwanda. With the help of more than 100 people from the village, the concrete floor plate was poured, finishing the foundation works on schedule!
