Imagine-Her Refrigeration Device

Fall 2021- Wellness +Environmental Justice

Project Overview

The overall purpose of the project was to create a portable refrigerator that will aid in carrying items that are currently getting too hot in the Ugandan weather. Tribes in Africa are needing vaccines, and food that are getting disposed of due to expiration from the heat. The vaccines were being carried by government issued coolers with ice packs that melt after a mere two hours. Designing a small refrigerator that midwives can easily transport and gives a sustainable way to aid in reaching the mission of Imagine-Her. Imagine-Her is an organization, sponsoring the project, that empowers women and children to create sustainable solutions in their community. The team’s design and finished product was impactful to the people of Uganda and hoped to inspire others to create a better future for themselves through sustainability, education, and leadership.
