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.

From bricks to building (+ guests)

The end-of-year celebrations were brief but positive. After a two-day break, construction resumed. The masonry work is progressing well, with interior walls leveled and exterior masonry looking beautiful. Cleanup and finishing tasks are underway, including jointing the outer walls and making the roof water-resistant. The construction site is gradually transforming into an ‘institute’!
