UK SoA Humanitarian Architecture - Empowering Haitian Orphans
In the spring of 2017 a group of UK College of Design architecture students began designing a renovation/expansion project for the Chez Moi orphanage, located in Port Au Prince, Haiti. The funds raised through crowdfunding will be directly used to help cover the cost of travel and expenses for students to travel to Haiti, in order to further the Chez Moi project. While on site, students will meet with Haitian consultants and contractors to progress the construction of our designs for the orphanage. As well, we will be publishing a book in order to advance our marketing capabilities and to share the story of the residents of Chez Moi.
Please show your support for Humanitarian Architecture: Empowering Haitian Orphans Through A New Home by making a gift to the Humanitarian Haiti Fund today!
