该设施的设计与实施标准，当地材料使用的一种实验方式。主要材料是粘土砖，由妇女谁将受益于WOC。这座占地两英亩的设施具有当地可持续的功能，包括太阳能发电、雨水收集、烹饪用沼气燃料和堆肥厕所。莎伦·戴维斯设计指出，“我们希望鼓励当地的实验，以便社区恢复变得更加一体化，资源丰富，环保意识更强”。

The facility was designed with the implementation of standard, local materials utilized in an experimenal way.  The principal material is clay brick, crafted by women who will benefit from the WOC.  The two-acre facility is designed with local sustainable functions, including solar power generation, rainwater harvesting, biogas fuel for cooking, and composting toilets.  Sharon Davis Design notes, "we hope to encourage local experimentation, so that community restoration becomes more integrated, resourceful, and environmentally conscious".

妇女事务委员会鼓励自给自足、自营职业和增强自我能力.利用教育和社区作为发展这种态度的工具，是第一次世界大战解决可能从政治动乱和种族灭绝中恢复过来的贫困地区的战略之一。这是使人民和该地区社区重新生活的一种方式。这一特别设施将于6月举行盛大开幕式，将影响该区域28 000多名妇女。

The WOC encourages self-sufficiency, self-employment and self-empowerment.  Using education and community as a tool to develop this attitude is one of WfWI's strategy for addressing poverty-striken regions that may be recovering from political upheaval and genocides.  It is a way to restabalize the lives of people and the region's community.  This particular facility, whose grand opening will be held in June, will affect over 28,000 women in the region.

预计WOC的宽度将超出其设施墙的范围。第一次世界大战在卢旺达实施类似方案时出现了经济连锁反应。参加妇女委员会的妇女将她们所知道的技能传播到社区，对该地区妇女的自我赋权和自给自足产生了积极的指数效应。

The breadth of the WOC's is anticipated to extend beyond its facility walls.  WfWI has seen an economic ripple effect occur in the implementation of similar programs in Rwanda.  Women who participate in the WOC spread their knew skills into the community, creating positive exponential effects on women's self-empowerment and self-sufficiency in the region.

WOC的模式是，在未来五年内，该设施将通过多种用途实现经济独立：向合作组织出租空间；为当地小企业创造市场和零售空间；为租赁提供储存和工作空间；为游客提供活动空间、示范农场、住宿和餐厅服务。

The model for the WOC is such that within the next five years, the facility will become financially independent through a multi-use approach: renting space to partner organizations, creating market and retail space for local small businesses, storage and workspace for lease, event space, demonstration farm, and lodging and restaurant services for tourists.
