Mufid

Mufid (Arabic for 'useful') is a world-first technology and education toolkit empowering young migrants in refugee camps to improve their environment through a Circular Economy approach.

Developed with refugees, plastic waste in the camps were transformed into 3D-printing filament to create shelter construction elements.

A disruption of the traditional humanitarian aid model of ‘top down’ handouts, refugees co-design meaningful, physical solutions as 'architects' of their own environment and future.

It’s pioneering on many levels and addresses numerous social issues – refugee inclusion, education, Circular Economy adoption, environmental impact and social development.
