In 2015, over 9 million refugees have fled Syria since the outbreak of the civil war in 2011. Over half of these refugees are being displaced to neighboring countries, while most are left to wander and suffer the consequences of xenophobia. Given this information we felt a need to be involved in and create value for this cause and give these people a sense of hope and faith as they begin their new life. According to Amnesty International’s Charity website, only 61% of the UN’s humanitarian appeal for Syrian Refugees was funded.
As the number of people expatriating due to conflicts in their countries in alarming numbers we have decided to put our strengths together and identify another area where we can hopefully make an impact in the lives of these refugees. By constructing a collapsible tent that uses infrared technology embedded in the fabric, we will try to ensure that they can feel safe by accommodating them in our tents.
This concept is not only to allow refugees shelter in these circumstances, but also to allow homeless people in colder climates to have a place to stay for the night. With 1,543 homeless families in Boston alone, according to a census on 25 Feb. 2015, this concept can be very helpful for these families in transition.
