​Humanitarian Designers

​What will be the discussion about?

​Last November, the French and Kenya Red Cross jointly issued a challenge to designers: “Rethinking Sanitation, Restoring Dignity” designing the structure and walls of pit latrines used in the Kakuma refugee camp.

​We are thrilled to share that both the first- and second-place teams are part of the Humanitarian Designers community: Fabio Parmmegiani and Laura Vitali. Seeing our members recognised for their outstanding work is a proud moment and a testament to the talent and commitment within our community.

​To celebrate, we are opening up our next Community Discussion to the public for a special edition with two guest speakers.

​On Thursday, June 25 at 18:00 (CEST/UTC+2), Marie-Alice Manderscheid from the French Red Cross will present the challenge, its objectives, and the winning results. We will also hear from Laura Vitali, whose proposal earned second place, as she shares insights into her project and design process.
