ARRAY Foundation wants to build an eco-friendly, active rehabilitation centre for people with spinal cord injury. The centre will be multi-disciplinary and accommodate ‘rehabilitators’ both on a paid for basis and free to those who genuinely cannot afford to pay. The key is that it must encompass state of the art, leading edge rehabilitation facilities
Building Plans
Set in natural, eco-friendly surroundings combining the ancient holistic Ayurveda and Yoga practices with modern day therapies and equipment. ARRAY aims to recreate the SCI’s life…to give them hope that they too can re-join and be part of society, not a burden on the family.

Design Concept
The design for the building originates from a Mandala. Each element of the Mandala- wind, water, earth, fire and space are represented as the different functions of the centre.
In the centre is the Ayurveda, Yoga and Meditation space. To the east is the male accommodation with a direct link to the Hippotherapy and driving training as an analogy of wind. The west, associated with water, the pool, the hyperbaric oxygen therapy and all other therapy functions are located. To the north is the female accommodation and its link to the horticultural project representing Earth. To the south, Fire, is the administration and the main entrance.
Job Creation- Reintegration into Society
ARRAY Foundation Transport Services
The first job creation opportunity will kick off in 2022. ARRAY will start a transport service. Initially electric auto rickshaws for people and goods movement. All drivers will be paraplegics and later we will add electric vehicles with drivers being both paraplegics as well as quadriplegics
ARRAY Foundation Hydroponic Farm
ARRAY will have an hydroponic farm. One, to provide nutritious, healthy plant based food for the centre and two, as job creation opportunities. As part of sustainability and job creation, ARRAY will supply produce to the local supermarkets, restaurants and hotels.
Back Office Administration/ Call Centre
In its mission for creating job opportunities, ARRAY Foundation Centre will focus on providing a space to focus on working on sustainability projects with corporates
