Sebit-Sisterhood Welfare Centre is a sanctuary for retired female Protestant missionaries. Designed with an "Island of Tranquility" concept, the centre features serene private bedrooms, a 40-seat chapel, and a central courtyard with a reflective pond and a symbolic rock. The U-shaped layout, built from warm, natural materials, embraces the residents, providing a peaceful, nurturing environment that honors their lifelong service and fosters both community and contemplation. This thoughtful design ensures a tranquil haven for reflection and rest.
