At InAGlobe Education we source projects from field partners in humanitarian scenes, and here students, academics and sponsors can browse and express interest!
Pill-Organiser for Self-Medication
Status: Adopted (Department of Bioengineering)
A pill organiser for orphans in Casa do Gaiato-Maputo to self medicate appropriately. Motivated by the poor disease management due to limited number of healthcare workers.
Low-Smoke Cooking Environment
Status: adopted (Engineering Change)
Develop a low-cost stove that produced little or no smoke; or an efficient extractor system that can be coupled to current cooking methods.
Low Emission Cashew Nut Processor
Status: adopted (Engineering Change)
Develop a Cashew Nut processor with low CO2 emissions, as current technologies are highly polluting.
Mobile Grain Network-Marketplace
Status: Unadopted
Create a mobile phone application that informs of the fair local market price for different kinds of food productions.
Water Storage System
Status: unadopted
Help finalise a project for water storage and irrigation system for Casa do Gaiato-Maputo.
Nutrition Provision Ventures
STATUS: ADOPTED (ENGINEERING CHANGE)
Innovate a way of better distributing key foods that will help fight malnutrition.
Point of Care Viral Hepatitis Device
March 2018, Ghana
Up to 80% of deaths due to viral hepatitis are not diagnosed before occurring. This project aims to create a POC device to improve results of the screening processes.
Viral Hepatitis is slowly becoming drifting towards becoming the most lethal infectious disease, as tuberculosis-caused deaths are slowly decreasing. Up to 90% of deaths as a result of Hepatitis B go undiagnosed before death, and up to 80% for Hepatitis C. With rapid diagnostic tests being convenient yet not of ideal sensitivity, many infected persons are not detected in screening processes. Thus this project sets out to develop a device that improves on the current screening devices.
Groundwater Treatment
Status: UnAdopted
Water in rural Mozambique has often harmful levels of calcium and magnesium. Make a device that can make water more potable.
Adobe Isolating Paint
Status: unadopted
After every rainy season, mud-brick houses in Mozambique are heavily damaged. The development of a low-cost paint made out of locally sourced materials that protects the adobe.
Low-Cost Hospital Waste Treatment
Status: Unadopted
To reduce the overall cost of waste treatment from hospitals. Currently, this appears to be a crippling barrier for hospitals, that leads to poor waste management.
Cashew Nut Residue Re-Purposing
Status: unadopted
Identify a way to re-purpose cashew nut waste in order to reduce waste and increase productivity of each cashew nut.
Rethinking Latrines
status: unadopted
Build a low-cost, socially and culturally acceptable latrine that will avoid people using the sand at the beach as a toilet.
The Local Toilet Design Catalogue
status: adopted (engineering change)
Contribute to a permanent toilet designs to be built by local artisans using immediately available materials in the area surrounding Beira, Mozambique.
Septic Tank Project
status: adopted (engineering change)
Build a low-cost, locally-sourced and produced septic tank for a safe treatment and disposal of faecal waste.
Grain Storage Container
status: adopted (engineering change)
Find a low-cost and simple manner of storing grain efficiently such that it is void of disease and humidity.
