Design for the World is an international humanitarian organisation whose
objective is to match the skills and commitment of volunteer designers with the needs expressed by disadvantaged populations
and the organisations that serve them worldwide. Design for the World unites graphic designers, industrial designers and interior
and architectural designers around one common idea: voluntary design for people in need.
Design for the World believes that people disadvantaged by poverty, war, disability, age or environmental conditions deserve
equal access to practical design solutions that will improve their day-to-day lives. Design for the World seeks to extend the
benefits of design to populations without access to adequately designed materials, objects, tools and living environments.
