Assignment lab Two:- Questions: 1. Under each of the six categories, shelter, health, water, education, energy and transport, choose one project which interests you. For each category, describe how it is designed to alleviate poverty for the project's stakeholders.

2. How does stakeholder analysis enable sustainable and socially responsible design? (1 paragraph)

3. List five characteristics of socially responsible product design. (List of 5 points)

1. Shelter: (Mad Housers) is a group that was made up by volunteers for building free shelters for homeless people that cannot afford a shelter by their own. Shelter is the basic very important place where each person needs to find a secure place to stay inn, and a warm loving place for poor people to stay and spend their nights in. These huts make people feel comfortable and it provides them with heat and the feel of being in a home, also these huts are well built and safe from being torn down. These homeless people will also have a stove to cook their food and this helps people from suffering from poverty. Health: (Life Straw) Most of the poor countries suffer from waterborne diseases, and mostly are children die from diseases that come from unsafe unclean water drinking. Therefore, Life straw water it purifies the water, and it has been developed in a very realistic way for stopping these diseases and achieving the millennium development goal by falling the percentage of people without enough access to safe water drinking. Life straw is a portable water filter that prevents the diseases to pass, and it is very light and can be carried around. Water :( Q drum) water is very important for the survival of all people around the world. And also clean water is needed free of diseases. And people suffering from poverty find hard time finding accessible clean water all the time. The Q drum is a simple, and effective for this problem. It is a device that improves the lives and health of people around the world. Women and children in rural areas no longer need to carry large quantities of water on their heads. The water rolls in a cylindrical vessel. Education: (100$ laptop) Laptops that costs 100$ that has full facilities, and is being distributed to children in China for example, and in poor countries, since internet is one of the best ways for children to learn and explore the world around them. These laptops are not expensive, and this helps poor families to afford a laptop for their children. Energy: (Star Sight) star sight is a new kind of a service and it benefits the world from a pollution free environment. It provides a maintainable solar street lightning and wireless communication and it also provides security. Energy is very essential for countries to develop and expand and this star sight is very helpful in poor countries such as India for example. Transport: (World bike prototype). In Many countries transportation is a very huge problem, since most countries find transportation expensive and traffic since some countries are crowded. Therefore, World bike prototype is widely manufactured for China, Taiwan, and India for example, and these bicycles are engineered to be very comfortable for long distances, safe, and stylish, and have a higher carrying facility. They are inexpensive and very convenient for long distances since the carrying capacity is high.

2. The stakeholder analysis enables a sustainable and socially responsible design by focusing on the aim of the specific project, and by focusing on the targeted audience. One should keep in mind that this specific project should improve and help the basic needs of people. Keep in mind the Third world countries and poor countries therefore, minimize the cost, in order for people to afford it. Look and explore how effective this project is for poor people for example, make sure it minimizes the diseases, and provide them with safe tools. And after the project or design of a tool is done, it must be tested with the real audience this project or model is aimed for. And in this way a designer should test how effective the model is, has it reached the goals needed, and check if it satisfied the needs of the audience. 3. - Affordable, inexpensive - Simple to use - Good quality - Safe for the environment - Easy to build, tools for the supply are available.
