padBack – Cansu Akarsu, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and
Technology (KR), Istanbul Technical University (TR)
padBACK
is a sanitary protection method for rural areas in Africa. The aim of the
project is to ensure that girls do not drop out of school due to stigmatization
of their menstrual cycle. The padBack is a self-maintaining system and the pads
are made of papyrus and biodegradable non-woven fabric. The
Jury felt the designer constructed ‘very well thought opportunities for local
procurement and distribution and job creation for papyrus farmers, jobs for
production workers and health for women’ and the design focuses on a ‘whole
system and not only on a product to a very important and stigmatized issue’.

The Soap Shish is inspired by an abacus and uses the colorful and
slippery features of soap and thereby attracting kids to play with it, whilst
at the same time clean their hands. It aims to provide hygiene to schools at
all times, preventing the soap bars from being removed or melted. The Jury praised the designer for ‘an interesting design that
solves a problem while involving the local community in the soap production
process.’
