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.

Even though this is a blog, it doesn' t work exactly as usual. Each part should be read from the top to the bottom and not the opposite as it is usually the way to do it.
