We were introduced to the powerhouse team at Solidarity Engineering through our friends at World Central Kitchen. Solidarity shows up to crisis areas with engineering grit and gets stuff built! We are thrilled about the opportunity this relationship presents. They provide the muscle and we provide the design concepts and materials. We tweak it on the ground together. It’s a match made in humanitarian heaven. Stay tuned for all the locations we plan to support together! In the US/Mexico, we are working on shade coverage at two asylum seeker camps and a playground.
Status: Fall 2022
Size: 2x 80’x120’ shade structures
