 * Choose a country on the web site's map (**[|http://other90.cooperhewitt.org])**, and read through the description of the products designed for that country.

List five characteristics of socially responsible product design:

I have chosen Central America
 * 1) Affordability - due to the inability to constantly buy batteries, __solar aid__ has been provided to help people with hearing problems and to be a recharger of batteries. This is done to help people continue with daily regimes and grow their way of life.
 * 2) Health - there is a high rise of mosquitoes with diseases in Central America, for this __Permanet__ has been created to block out the mosquitoes and to prevent them from taking more lives. __Permanet__ is also useful due to the low availability of health services.
 * 3) Environment - __Global village shelters__ are biodegradable laminate material that shelter people up to eight months. This is useful after a storm, flood, and other devastation's.
 * 4) Education -One Laptop Per Child __is a campaign that brings in $100 laptops for children in order to educate them through learning, communication, and information. This allows for a higher standard of learning for improvised schools.__
 * 5) Technology - __Internet Village Motoman__ provides internet access for schools, offices, and hospitals/clinics. This allows for outside services and sources to assist in proceedings that could not be regularly handled (i.e ask a New York doctor how to apply ointment on a specific kind of wound).

[|Architecture for Humanity] is a non for profit organization that helps in providing aid by design. They help in causes such as poverty and at risk populations. One designer is __Matt Miller__ who made a [|Kutamba AIDS Orphanage] in Bikongozo, Rukungiri, and Uganda. The orphanage is used by the that children have been orphaned due to the AID epidemic. This form of housing provides education for the children, as well as shelter.
