Our work is ingrained within the community and its context.
Through grassroot.ed we hope to empower young minds and boost the rural economy.
Our Process
Problem Identification
We locate the important government agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) during our study of the villages in order to help us detect problems with the local educational infrastructure.
Design a Concept
Combining passive design principles and hybrid building materials we will provide a cost-effective research based design solution.
Acquire Funding
On tying up with local NGOs, we look to find potential sites and work our detailed costing to garner funds through philanthropic donation /CSR/Crowd funding.
Execution
Start creating a rural supply chain with the assistance of local craftspeople and laborers who will aid in realizing our concepts in the chosen rural area. At this step, we also include volunteers and students to foster a more inclusive approach..
