Home.Work
Home.Work is product system hybrid, which enables people living in formal/informal refugee camps
What if we provide the right circumstances for the people living those camps to help them self and get active members of community?
With Home.Work we provide these circumstances. The Home.Work box is an unfold able, especially designed Work space, filled up with all the tools needed to fix, create and maintain.
Threw craftsmanship and DIY solutions generated threw the box, the users can build what is lacking in their daily life and gain back a piece of self determination. This can be a protection from cold weather, a hygienic device like a washing board, or just something to make their surrounding more beautiful.
The boxes get distributed in a certain way. We run workshops to show the communities the power of DIY solution and how this can help them improving their live and the lives of their community members. In the workshops we search for five ambassadors how spread the thought, share their knowledge in distribute the tools and boxes.
