Introduction

Contribute to Saharawis empowerment through product design




To design a way to empower the Saharawis to produce some objects by utilizing the resources available in the camps.

The two aims:

-To enable the Saharawis to express themselves, their culture and identity which have been threatened by years of conflict with Morroco.

-Enable the Sahrarwis to generate an income.

For this project, I have developed:

-A technique to recycle plastic bottles

-Some tools

-Some samples of possible outcomes

Then, I gave shape to it by organising a workshop in the Saharawi refugee camp of Dakhla (Algerian desert), in April 2009.
