With ResQKid, this designer demonstrates how a humanitarian design solution can have real social impact in an urgent crisis.

The Jury says

There are 490.000 children living in refugee camps in Lebanon. This designer has created a sympathetic and functional solution that provides warmth for children in very harsh conditions, combining jacket, jumpsuit and sleeping bag in one. Mona also demonstrates a business sense, as she has created an entire business plan to make sure this solution becomes reality. It is humanitarianism in action at its core and has the potential to create real social impact.
