It's not only about responding to natural disasters but also involved in system issues. Additionally, it can be collected ideas, resources including money and knowledge. The design should be innovative and sustainable design and can really make a difference in people's lives.
In the world, there'er many people who have the issue of housing crisis even without Africa. By using the internet, he embraced an open source model to join anyone,  anytime and anywhere in the world. After the disasters, the organization could raise funds and started projects immediately.
