PREVENTION OF MALARIA

PALUDISME is to retrofit 24 housing units in the community of Minkoameyos in Yaounde, Cameroon. The design of the housing units should combine the use of common sense principles and innovative ideas to minimize the transmission of malaria. Our campaign is unique in that we not only seek design excellence, but design that truly integrates architectural construction with community health improvements.
