For this report I wanted to dive into the world of social design and humanitarian innovation and gain a better understand of a field I knew little about. I wanted to look at work that is inspirational to me: social design projects with a focus on development of infrastructure in communities where there is little. I set out to build a knowledge base and gain a deeper understanding of the humanitarian industry to see how design fits in. I also wanted to see where non humanitarians can enter into the industry, as the NGO networks and established resources are incredibly valuable. As design is more accepted through a breadth of industries, looking at social design and humanitarian innovation. It’s also an interesting way to explore what design means but to myself and to humanitarians.
