Hello my name is Yiannis Hadjipapas and I am a Msc student at Brunel university ,Uxbridge, Uk I am currently working on a project for water transportation in Kenya.
My brief is to design a water transportation method for people in Kenya with potentials of lightening their duties and income generation. The idea is to provide an instruction booklet to a village and by using locally sourced and waste material they will build and use a transportation device for water or their jerrycans.
Since my idea is based on up-cycling waste materials and use local materials, my challenges is to make sure that my design/idea is feasible.
I would be grateful if you can provide me some information for locally sourced materials and what are the most usual material waste. My current design is made using waste jerrycans and bamboo. However are jerry cans easy to find in Rural areas in Kenya? Are there bamboo near the rural villages?
Any information would be helpful
Thank you in advance
