HUMANITARIAN WORK

LET YOUR TALENTS REACH FARTHER THAN YOU PHYSICALLY CAN

SANITATION FACILITIES

IT'S MORE THAN A TOILET

In rural locales throughout Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, and Kenya, community toilets have unfortunately become sites of bullying and abuse. Furthermore, sanitation infrastructure is frequently in a state of decay, or lacking entirely – leading to sewage contaminating fresh water sources, and disease spreading rampantly. We design these facilities within the parameters of safety, security, sanitation, education, and harvesting. All this allows the latrines to become safe destinations that raise awareness, accommodate hygiene, and provide fertilizer for growing food. A design catalog of terative prototypes is, again, our method of providing infratecture.

COOKING FACILITIES

HAZARDS YOU NEVER CONSIDERED

Acquiring quality ingredients and preparing meals properly are processes largely taken for granted in our corner of the planet. Our collaboration with Convoy of Hope focused on small-medium sized cooking facilities for rural schools throughout Sub-Saharan and Equatorial Africa. Since the range of locations varied so greatly, we decided to produce a catalog of facilities ranging from 100sf - 400sf (which preps meals for 40 - 200 students per day, respectively). The project is ongoing, but the prototypes created thus far are easily adaptable to their surroundings and constructed using readily available resources.

FARMING FACILITIES

ONE EGG A DAY

A child (roughly 10 years of age) requires approximately 20 grams of protein per day. It is the goal of CoH to help fulfill this natural necessity by providing chickens (along with their associated architecture) to communities, schools, and individual families. One egg equals +/-6 grams of protein. This is where we come in. Designing livestock facilities requires attention to both the logistics of the harvest, as well as the comfort of the animal. Iterations abound, but the goal is to provide comfortable, sanitary, and efficient habitats.
