Grant Awarded: Spring 2021

Project Description 

The first goal for our proposed project is hosting a sustainable design and development-focused summit where we will invite UC Berkeley students from diverse backgrounds. This will serve as an opportunity for Berkeley students to apply their skills and knowledge about sustainability to a real-world project, and to raise awareness about water-insecurity projects, development, and technology. Through collaboration with students and organizations across campus, we will redesign our RH system and implementation process, improving their longevity, cost-efficiency, and sustainability. Our final goal will be building an additional 24 systems in the village, and providing students who participated in our summit real-time feedback on their solutions and suggestions.
