By solar power and design, people can create a brighter future.
Many people live in the desert, and strong solar power exists there. However, because of climate change, which worsens the situation of dry and heat, people might have to do more to enhance the living space. Although heat is a serious problem faced by them, like people in left picture who have to bear the hot weather and fierce sunlight without money to build a proper roof, I think a more critical problem lies in the shortage of water which every human need for survive and to maintain a green environment. Although there are several ways aiming to solve this problem, they sometimes might become impractical for people there, including high-tech solar panels which might be too expensive to afford for every family, or small-scale water distillers which generate inadequate water for whole family to sustain their live. This project aims to solve these problems.
