# 2020 ECMH + UDB Design for Vulnerability |
|
Design for Vulnerability is a socially sustainable model to provide clean water to communities in need. The core design at the basis of the project is a natural water filter capable of providing clean water for a household for one year for $35. Through a fundraising and collaboration scheme bringing together local families with local organisations, the cost of the service can be reduced to $15. The project was developed for the coastal community of El Majahual in El Salvador, but its principles can be applied to different contexts.
Jenna Borges, Victoria Fishman, and Kevin Paroda are designers from the University of Pennsylvania. They are inspired by the tenants of universal design, and believe that designing products that work for those with the greatest needs and still have design aesthetics that appeal to the masses will help build a more inclusive world.more
