Rubble House Development
To further test and develop our Rubble House design, Conscience International is partnering with Southern Polytechnic State University to build a rubble house on the school campus for further research and development. The CI/SPSU Rubble House Project website includes daily updates as well as a live feed for monitoring progress.
East Africa Famine Response
Conscience International is currently organizing a medical intervention targeting at-risk children in the Dolo region of Ethiopia. Led by local Ethiopian medical professionals supported by volunteer medical personnel from around the world, the effort centers around a state-of-the-art mobile clinic that will allow the physicians to bring medical aid directly to the affected populations. As the famine worsens, larger numbers of refugees are fleeing to southern Ethiopia and northeastern Kenya, resulting in larger numbers of children in the area without sufficient access to proper nutrition or sanitation.
In addition to the medical initiative, Conscience International is also helping coordinate distribution of food at the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya. While only able to adequately shelter 90,000 people, current estimates place the population at 400,000 and climbing, making it the largest refugee camp in the world.
