'Where do you go to the toilet?'

Due to free education in many developing countries, schools receive a lot more children. Organisations build new classrooms to respond to the request but there is one thing that many still forget, namely toilets. Let’s be creative and help them to find a solution to conquer this issue.
This can go from new concepts to a toilet as we know it, for rural areas out of low cost materials. MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the daily lives of million’s of children. Visit our website for more details.

Awareness project: 'END violence against girls and women'

CALL FOR ENTRIES

'END violence against girls and women'

The Humanitarian International Design Organisation (HIDO) is working on an awareness project together with Regional Network on Child Protection (RENOCP) and would like to invite designers/creative people to create a poster to promote 'END violence against girls and women'. This poster will be distributed in schools in African rural areas, starting in Kenya.

We are looking for a graphically attractive poster with a dynamic and inviting message to attract girls/women in different African Cultures to discuss these gender based violence issues. With this poster we would like to motivate girls to contact the local organisation RENOCP for further help and support. The poster needs to incorporate the slogan ‘END violence against girls and women’.

Look here for more details, rules and guidelines.
