In answer to the recent typhoon in Bicol, we modified our plans launching our first Hello Ecovillage and focus on the most impactful and also the most essential part of the social impact of our concept: emergency social impact in a disaster recovery situation.
Objective: Focus-on and fast-track our social impact capacity with a time-to-action approach in order to be able to offer all the support of our Hack Center to the surrounding communities:
- 15 Livelihood Development Programs (LDP) directly impacting the local communities
- 3D printed Disaster Relief Shelters, Emergency Units, Medical Units, …
- 3D Printed Toilets, water tanks, sceptical tanks, Prosthetics
- An action-based “Hello Hub” team to coordinate many local and international partners and contributing to many projects and LiveliHood Programmes
- Up to 300 international “voluntourist” platform to join the permanent efforts
Modules to be implemented in the Hub
