Humanitarian International design organisation
Humanitarian International Design Organisation is a non-profit organisation , believing in the value and the importance of design. The organisation aims to improve the lives of people in Third World countries who are lacking basic needs and vital information in order to be able to make the right decisions in life. Based on long-term solutions, the organisation will provide information and/or a product through development, relief and campaigning, to achieve these objectives. The organisation does not restrict itself to any particular geographic location.
The organisation is currently designing an Educational game to help young children in Africa, mainly Kenya to explain what puberty is. This game will be a teaching tool to break the taboo concerning menstruation and to explain the importance of sanitary towels. HIDO's aim is to reduce early pregnancies, to decrease the transfer of HIV/AIDS and other [...] transmitted diseases and to increase African girls attending school.
The Humanitarian International Design Organisation will try to engage more designers to design products or systems for those in need, to improve their lives!
