Shelter Mad Housers Huts allows individuals a temporary shelter which provides a stable place to live since it includes all the reserouces such as the a loft for sleeping and storage purpouses.

 Health

Permanet is designed to alleviate poverty for its project stakeholder since it reduces the spread of malaria. Malaria mostly spreads in children and by the use of permanet, a reduction of death rates have been seen. There are millions of people dying each year from malaria across the developing nations however those nations are struggling to have a stable economic growth. It has been proven that a country is not able to grow economically if there is large exposure of malaria hence the introduction of permanet will not only improve their economy but make a difference in those individuals life.

Education weather conditions in those developing countries. Education has and always will remain as an integral asset to every individual on this planet. The development of One Laptop per child is providing access to individuals in developing countries. The use of laptop enhances the type of education in the context of enhancement of their communication skills with the outside world. This happens due to the wireless feature that a laptop entails. A laptop is not only portable but small which makes it more available and accessible. The ease of use of the laptop is a pro. The laptop was developed carefully inconsideration of the weather conditions in those developing countries.

Energy Solar aid project assist individuals that have hearing problems. It helps them hear sound forms 24/7 with the aid of the hearing solar aid. The user only has to charge it for an hour per day for a day’s use and it is said that the battery will last up to four days. This aid is cost effect and comes in need for individuals in those developing countries that have hearing problems. The battery can be charged overnight while the solar aid device is not in use for optimal use. Also, it was developed in Batsowana.

The Q drum is used to transfer large amounts of water to and from local cities. It transfers 75 litres of water to places in the world that have problems with the cleanilines of water and water supply. It was developed by P. J. and J. P. S. Hendrikse. The Q drum has a hole central hole which allows a rope to be tired around it in order for it to be pulled. Also, when the water is contained in a cylindrical container, it eases the burden to carry the water instead of lifting and carrying the water in another form.This alleviates poverty since it provides water to those who need it to not only quench thirst but to protect themselves from diseases or to use for food purposes as well.

**2. How does stakeholder analysis enable sustainable and socially responsible design? (1 paragraph)** Stakeholder analysis lays out ideas for the design that includes drawback and advantages in the design.This analysis provides us with the sustainability of the design. Stakeholders comprise of governments, shareholders, people and much more. One of the main segments of this analysis is the examining the general public that considers the social aspects of the design and how socially responsible the design is. To see how socially responsible a design is might differ in cultures since they all have different requirements which they place more emphasis in terms of sustainability. All in all, shareholders are definitely interested in analyzing how sustainable a design in order to see if it fits the market to be sold and how consumers will perceive it to be.
